Title Absolute is described as?

• A. Leasehold estate with a defined term
• B. Fee simple absolute, subject only to interests protected by an entry in the register, interests that are overriding
• C. A possessory title with limited protection
• D. A conditional fee simple with restrictions

Answer: (B)

Title Absolute represents the strongest form of ownership under registered land: the owner holds the land in fee simple absolute (freehold) with an indefeasible title, limited only by interests that are either protected by entries on the register or are overriding interests. In other words, the proprietor’s title is secure except for those limited rights that bind the register or override it. This matches the description of a fee simple absolute, subject only to interests protected by the entry in the register and interests that are overriding. The other descriptions describe leasehold, less secure possessory, or conditional forms of ownership, which do not fit Title Absolute.
