Essential information

Individual assessment. Clear information. Legal rigour.

Initial assessment

Registration is essential, but does not always tell the whole story of a dispute

The legal status of a property may involve acquisition deeds, registrations, physical boundaries, long-term use, third-party rights and rules on co-ownership or condominiums. A solution requires comparing the documents with the property’s actual use.

Ownership and registration

Review of deeds, certificates, entries and any need for correction or updating.

Use and enjoyment

Usufruct, easements, rights of way, occupation and use by co-owners.

Disputes and division

Management, expenses, condominiums, division of jointly owned property and recovery of possession.

Location of the issue

Mark the specific area in question on a plan or photograph.

History of use

Describe who uses the space, since when and in what way.

Changes to the property

Organise photographs of relevant work or alterations by date.

How we work

Our work is defined according to the facts, documents and deadlines involved.

1

Identify the right

We review the title, registration, parties and specific claim.

2

Confirm the facts

We compare documents, physical configuration and actual use of the property.

3

Regularise or take action

We determine whether an agreement, registration, formal communication or court action is appropriate.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the land register always prove every physical boundary?

The register provides information about the legal status, but discrepancies in area, boundaries or occupation may require other documents and evidence.

Can a co-owner be forced to remain in co-ownership?

There are mechanisms to end co-ownership, but the solution and procedure depend on the property, titles and position of the interested parties.

Do all condominium disputes require court action?

No. The validity of resolutions, documents and a well-prepared communication may allow the matter to be resolved before court proceedings.
