What is a landed estate?

A landed estate is a substantial property, typically including agricultural land, woodlands, and residential or commercial buildings, often owned by the same family or organisation for generations. It requires careful management to preserve its value, covering legal, financial, and operational aspects such as succession planning, tenancies, and conservation.

What is landed estates law?

Landed estates law is a branch of law that deals with the legal issues related to large estates, including the ownership and management of land, properties, and other assets. It encompasses matters such as estate planning, inheritance, tax planning, and the transfer of ownership of landed estates from one generation to the next.
