With regard to the private transfer of land, it needs to be seen in different situations: first of all, according to the provisions of the Land Management Law, China implements public ownership of land, and individuals only have the right to use land without ownership. So strictly speaking, land ownership cannot be transferred directly between individuals. However, in practice, the following situations are protected by law: 1 The contractual management right of rural collective land may be transferred according to law. For example, the transfer of contractual management rights through subcontracting, leasing, exchange, etc. must be approved by the village collective and go through the registration procedures. 2. The right to use state-owned land can be transferred according to law. For example, the right to use construction land obtained through transfer can be transferred if it meets the conditions, but it needs to go through change registration with the land department. 3. The right to use homestead can be transferred within the collective economic organization, but it must comply with the provisions of one household, one residence, etc. It should be noted that if the land purchase and sale agreement signed privately is not handled with legal procedures, it is likely to be regarded as invalid contract. It is suggested that when land transfer is involved: 1 Confirm the nature and ownership of land first 2. Check local specific policies and regulations 3. Be sure to go through formal registration and filing procedures 4. Professional lawyers can be invited to review the contract terms. If disputes have occurred, it is recommended to collect relevant evidence materials as soon as possible, such as contracts, payment vouchers, land ownership certificates, etc., in order to protect their own rights and interests.
