Doc 23: Land Sale Agreement, 1931

/Land Deeds

Year

1931

Origin

Beersheba, Palestine

Government Stamp

Yes

In 1931 Mr. Mahrous conducted a land purchase from multiple sellers of the Beersheba District for 120 Dunams. In exchange Mr. Mahrous was required to pay 60 Palestinian Pounds and was to be paid in full in cash directly to the sellers. The sellers are Salem, Abdullah, Sulieman, Salimah, Salmiyyah, Fuhaidah, Sa’adah, and their mother Fatimah bint Abdullah Abu Qubay’ah. This contract demonstrates that Mr. Bseiso had purchased a swath of land from an entire family inheritance, and the sales contract is signed by every respective family member who owns a portion or inheritance in the sold land. The document is extensive in describing the releasing of rights to the land and discusses the legal ramifications in case of a breach of contract. An important aspect of this land sale contract is that a provision also establishes the rights of a buyer to do as he/she please with the land. This is potentially the equivalent to a fee simple with no conditions or possibility or reversion, enabling the buyer to sell the land or develop the land for other purposes.
