How a Caveat Protects Your Interest in Titled Land | Uganda Land Law Explained

When buying or dealing in titled land, one of the most powerful legal tools available to protect your interest is a caveat.
Many people hear about caveats only when there is a problem.
But in law, a caveat is not just a restriction — it is a legal protection mechanism.
In this video, I explain in simple, practical terms: ✔️ What a caveat is
✔️ Why caveats exist in land transactions
✔️ Who can legally lodge a caveat
✔️ How a caveat protects your interest in land
A properly lodged caveat can: • Prevent unlawful transfers

• Protect a buyer’s pending interest
