Property
Registration-based ownership with unresolved restitution and legalisation
Ownership is registered with the State Cadastre Agency, and transfers require a notarial deed. Communist-era expropriation left a large body of restitution and compensation claims that continue to affect title.
Key rules
- Registration with the State Cadastre Agency is required for transfer of ownership.
- Transfers must be executed by notarial deed.
- Restitution and compensation claims are handled under a dedicated statutory scheme.
Governing law
- Civil Code (Kodi Civil)
- Act 133/2015 on the treatment of property and finalisation of compensation
In practice
Overlapping claims and informal construction mean title diligence should cover restitution files and legalisation permits, not just the cadastre.
