Question 1

In a place where it is NOT customary to write a deed, how is land acquired?

Where deeds are not customarily written, payment of money alone completes the sale of land. The minimum is a perutah's worth.

Question 2

A buyer fences a field minimally in the seller's presence. Does he acquire it?

Any act of chazakah that 'benefits' the buyer — including adding even a little to a fence — acquires the field, when done in the seller's presence.

Question 3

What must happen for chazakah performed OUTSIDE the seller's presence to be valid?

When the buyer acts outside the seller's presence, the seller must have first said 'go take possession and acquire' for the chazakah to work.

Question 4

A buyer pays for ten fields in ten different provinces and performs chazakah on one. What does he acquire?

Chazakah on one field acquires all simultaneously purchased fields — provided full payment was made for all of them.

Question 5

How does a gentile acquire land from a Jew?

A gentile cannot acquire land through chazakah. He acquires only via a deed of sale combined with payment of money.
