Disputes Regarding the Recognition of Ownership Rights to Real Estate

The experience of “First Legal” LLC in the field of civil law since 2008 shows that it is not uncommon to restore our clients’ rights by preparing a civil claim for the recognition of ownership rights to real estate due to a dispute (or non-recognition) of their rightful ownership by a third party (third parties).

Moreover, an analysis of the Unified State Register of Court Decisions provides grounds to conclude that recently, the number of disputes in this category of cases has been steadily increasing. However, for a successful and fair resolution of the dispute on the merits, the applicant (plaintiff) must have documentary evidence of their property rights to the disputed real estate object, as well as evidence that such rights are being violated by a third party.

Have you heard of situations where a person, for instance, builds a residential house without the appropriate permit and then cannot dispose of the constructed property due to the “unauthorized construction” stamp in the technical passport? We are certain that at least one of your relatives or acquaintances has encountered such an unpleasant situation.

We know that such a case is not an obstacle to disposing of your real estate in the future in a way that suits you. After all, the civil legislation of Ukraine allows the applicant to legalize unauthorized construction, provided certain conditions are met.

• Legal analysis of the situation that has arisen, consultations (oral or written), and formation of a legal position;
• Collection and/or search for evidence to properly protect the client’s interests, in particular by sending attorney requests;
