Ownership Transfer In Contract Of Sale
When does ownership transfer to the buyer in a contract of sale?
Once a valid sale occurs, the buyer owns the item. The validity of the sale is a condition for ownership to transfer to the buyer; an aspect of the sale that invalidates the transaction also nullifies the transfer of ownership. This transfer occurs precisely when the new owner assumes the risk associated with the item’s ownership.
