Transfer of Property Act s 100 - Summary
-
Section 100 Overview
Section 100 of the Transfer of Property Act primarily deals with the effect of a transfer of immovable property upon the death of the transferor, particularly focusing on whether the transferor's interest passes to the transferee or if the transfer is void due to the transferor's death before the transfer is perfected. It emphasizes that if a transfer is made during the lifetime of the transferor, it confers rights upon the transferee, but if the transferor dies before the transfer is complete, the transfer may be invalid unless certain conditions are met.

Applicability and Limitations

It does not apply to charges created by decree or court orders, as clarified by case law, which instead fall under other legal principles like lis pendens or specific statutes.
