Property Regularization Without a Lawsuit – Individual Land Registry Correction Procedure
When Possession Becomes Ownership – Acquisitive Prescription and Judicial Protection of Your Rights
Why a Proof of Payment of the Purchase Price is Not Sufficient for Registering Ownership in the Republic of Croatia?
Property Regularization Without a Lawsuit – Individual Land Registry Correction Procedure
In cases of significantly outdated land registers, the individual land registry correction procedure represents an effective and legitimate legal remedy for harmonising land registry records with cadastral data. In practice, its consistent application contributes to more orderly land registers, with a very small number of subsequent court disputes.
When Possession Becomes Ownership – Acquisitive Prescription and Judicial Protection of Your Rights
You possess a certain item, movable or immovable, for a certain period of time, and you are interested in the legal conditions and the possibility of acquiring ownership of that item. In this article, you will learn how long it takes for possession of an item to lead to acquiring ownership through acquisitive prescription, and how judicial practice confirms the application of these legal provisions.
Why a Proof of Payment of the Purchase Price is Not Sufficient for Registering Ownership in the Republic of Croatia?
Foreign buyers, especially from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, often operate under the logical assumption: "If I have paid for the property – I am the owner." In the Croatian legal system, unfortunately, this is not sufficient.
