Property law is a very extensive field of civil law
Property law is an extensive field of civil law, and within it, Atlācis un Partneri specialists most commonly provide assistance to clients who seek to register their ownership over buildings acquired as part of privatisation or other methods, or to establish or terminate easements.
Building ownership registration
The Civil Law prescribes the principle of unity of land and buildings; however, it is common that various legal or practical circumstances (e.g. lack of evidence about the transfer of building ownership during the privatisation of a kolkhoz) prevent the owner of the land to register their ownership over the buildings on that land in the Land Register. The solution in these cases is filing legal action in court, requesting that the ownership rights over the buildings be recognised via a court ruling.
The specialists at Atlācis un Partneri have extensive experience handling these problems, helping land owners put their affairs associated with building ownership rights in order, and upholding the principle of unity of land and buildings in practice.
Establishing and terminating easements
The value of a property and the ability to use it often directly depend on the ability to freely access the property, and the necessary utilities. The most common problems that people who seek the help of our specialists face include difficulty accessing their property, or their property being encumbered without justification to the benefit of another property.
