Family land is land that belongs to a family as a whole under customary law. From time immemorial through the period of agriculture to the period of industrial development, land has remained the most valuable property in the life of man and his development. It is a source of wealth to those who have it and the mother of all properties. In other words, virtually all the basic needs of human existence are land dependent . The emphasis of the concept of customary family land holding is group ownership. Individual ownership is unknown and foreign to the system. Every land held as familyland belongs to the family as a whole and no individual can claim sole ownership to the land. The purpose of this work is to critically examine the creation of family property, the rights each individual member of the family holds to the family property, the limitations to these rights, and the transfer of interest in land under the customary tenure system and the Land Use Act. The project concludes by examining the conflict between the Land Use Act and the customary tenure system and appropriate recommendations enunciated.
