Under the law, a genuine land title is conclusive evidence of ownership of land. However, the title could be cancelled in case there was fraud in acquiring it. The one alleging the was fraud in acquiring the land ought to prove it.
The land will revert to the registered proprietor who was on the title before the fraud took place.
Land title fraud occurs in many ways. The most common tricks used by fraudsters are:
1. Where a fraudster manages to have a duplicate title issued, when in fact the original is still in existence. This type of fraud may occur with the cooperation of unethical officers in a number of Government offices.
2. Where unscrupulous persons arrange for the issuance of title documents on land that is otherwise not available for sale. In this category you find forged title documents issued on road reserves, forests, environmentally fragile land,and Government land.
3. Where unscrupulous persons offer land for purchase on the strength of forged title documents.
4. Where dishonest persons take advantage of naive purchasers and proceed to offer them land for purchase yet it belongs to Ugandan's in the Diaspora.
The sellers, pose as Land Agents, to con unsuspecting buyers, yet in actual sense targeted land is not on sale.
5. Where forgery of transfer documents is used to effect the sale of land by unscrupulous persons.
6. Where sale of land is done during the dry season without informing prospective purchaser that the land offered for sale is in a wetland / swamp.Some Land Agents take their clients to plots on higher grounds when in actual sense the land for sale is in a swamp. The buyer only discovers after paying when he/she wants to begin development. At this moment, the Agent's phone contact is no longer in use.

Allaah gives the best to those who leave the choice to Him."And if Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it but He, and if He touches you with good, then He is Able to do all things." (6:17)
