Címjegyet

Címjegyet is a term originating from Hungarian, often translated as "title deed" or "certificate of ownership." It refers to a legal document that formally establishes and proves an individual's or entity's ownership of a particular property, most commonly real estate. This document serves as the primary evidence of title in property transactions and legal proceedings.

The contents of a címjegyzék typically include detailed information about the property, such as its precise location, size, boundaries, and any registered encumbrances like mortgages or easements. It also identifies the rightful owner(s) by name and provides a unique identifier for the property. The issuance and registration of a címjegyzék are crucial steps in ensuring the legal security of property rights.

In Hungary, the Land Registry (Ingatlan-nyilvántartás) is responsible for maintaining these records. When a property is bought, sold, inherited, or otherwise transferred, the relevant information is updated in the Land Registry, and a new or amended címjegyzék is issued. This process provides transparency and protects against fraudulent claims of ownership. The existence of a valid címjegyzék is essential for conducting any official transactions involving the property and for resolving disputes. It represents the official recognition by the state of who holds the legal rights to a piece of property.
