The position is that section 12 of the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009, which entered into effect on 1 December 2009, prohibits the creation of a fee farm grant at law or in equity. From that date, any instrument purporting to create a fee farm grant, or to grant a lease for life or lives renewable for ever or for any period which is perpetually renewable, vests in the purported grantee or lessee a legal or equitable fee simple.
