Disputes Concerning the Removal of Obstacles to the Use of Real Estate

Court representation of a client’s interests in disputes related to real estate is one of the most requested services from the “First Legal” Law Firm.

Most often, the need to file a claim to compel the removal of obstacles to the use of disputed real estate arises from the client’s complete or partial inability to use or dispose of such real estate. In this instance, the violation committed by a third party does not involve deprivation of ownership of that property. In other words, “de jure,” the client continues to be considered the owner of the real estate, but “de facto,” they are deprived of the ability to use and/or dispose of it.

A clear example of a situation where the above-mentioned method of protecting the client’s rights and interests is chosen is an unjustified occupation by a third party of the client’s premises premises that the client owns for the purpose of conducting business activities there, or, for example, the refusal of a previous owner to vacate the disputed premises after the client has acquired ownership rights to the disputed real estate (as confirmed by an entry in the Unified State Register of Property Rights to Real Estate).
