Recognition of title to property

Print
In brief

The client could not register title to a plot of land because of a discrepancy in their name in the title document. The court established the legal fact required for registration — the claim was granted in full.

Background

The main obstacle to formalizing title in rem was a discrepancy in the client's personal data caused by an error in the client's name in the title document, which entirely ruled out out-of-court registration of the property.

Opposing position

Rosreestr relied on the identified discrepancy in personal data across the documents, which it treated as an absolute bar to registration outside the courts.

Our position and key arguments

We carried out a systematic review of the documents confirming the client's connection to the plot of land, as well as the objective reasons for the discrepancy in the data.  We built the evidentiary case and prepared a reasoned application to establish the legal fact.

Outcome

The court issued a ruling establishing the legally significant fact in the client's favor.

Why it matters

The project removed the administrative barriers to formalizing title to the plot of land, enabling the client to fully deal with the property going forward (including disposing of it or encumbering it).

Applies to

Cases to establish legally significant facts (discrepancies in names in title documents); court protection of rights to land plots; overcoming Rosreestr's refusals.
