Recognition of ownership of real estate by court decision

The main legal institution in any state is the institution of private property. Its regulation determines the nature of regulation of other components of civil law. In this article, our specialists, specialists of the Prykhodko and Partners law office will analyze the procedure for recognizing the right of ownership of immovable property by court decision.

Recognition of the right of ownership through the court: what to remember?

Let's start with the analysis of the definition itself. Recognition of ownership rights to property in court is a long process, which consists of parties applying to judicial institutions to establish the legal owner of real estate. It is the real estate objects that are the subject of the dispute between the parties. The main goal of the court process is to resolve the issue of the legality of the use, disposition, and ownership of this property.

In what cases can there be problems with ownership? The reasons for this can be various:

• Disputes regarding the implementation of the property purchase and sale procedure.
• Falsification of ownership documents.
• Inheritance disputes.
• Criminal activities, including fraud and theft.

Property rights can be additional reasons. In this case, several people can claim real estate.

We offer to consider in more detail the procedure of recognition of the right of ownership in court. First, the party claiming ownership files a claim in court. This statement clearly sets out all the evidence and facts that will prove ownership.

Second, after the lawsuit is filed in court, its consideration begins. In particular, at this stage, the evidence presented by each of the parties is considered. These can be, for example, documents on ownership, expert opinions, witness statements. In some cases, an examination of the property is also appointed to establish its origin and other very important facts for the court.

Thirdly, after the evidentiary basis is considered, the court makes a decision on the recognition of ownership of real estate. If such a decision was made, it is recorded and a mechanism for its implementation is established.

What are the consequences of recognizing the ownership of real estate in court?

Let's start with the fact that upon recognition of ownership of real estate, the owner will receive protection of his property and comprehensive legal support. That is, such a person can freely use, manage and own this property within the framework of current legislation.

It also means that other persons must respect this right, refraining from actions that could stand in the way of the execution of the court decision.

In addition, judicial recognition of ownership may affect a number of other legal relationships. For example, if we are talking about real estate, the owner can sell or encumber it.

It is worth remembering that even the recognition of ownership of real estate in court is not a guarantee that it will be a final decision. In some cases, a cassation appeal or an appeal against a court decision may be filed. That is, the case can be reviewed by higher authorities.
