Ejerbog

Ejerbog, a Danish term meaning "owner's book," refers to a formal register that records the current owners of an asset and, in many cases, their ownership rights. The exact content and authority of an ejerbog vary by domain and jurisdiction, but it commonly serves as evidence of ownership and as a basis for transfers, encumbrances, and governance.

In real estate, an ejerbog records the owner or owners of a property, sometimes noting fractional ownership, liens, or easements. It complements other property records and helps establish who has the right to sell, mortgage, or otherwise deal with the property. The record may be used by buyers, lenders, and authorities to verify ownership and encumbrances.

In corporate or association contexts, an ejerbog functions as the register of owners or shareholders. It lists individuals or legal entities that hold shares or membership rights, the amount or percentage owned, and changes through transfers, inheritances, or new issuances. Maintaining an up-to-date ejerbog supports governance, voting rights, and distributions.

For movable assets such as vehicles or vessels, the ejerbog can serve as a record of current ownership and any liens or rights affecting the asset. The exact application depends on national rules and the relevant regulatory framework.

Maintenance and access to an ejerbog are typically governed by law and carried out by the appropriate government registry or the organization itself. Its legal significance depends on jurisdiction and asset type, and it often operates alongside official title deeds or registration certificates as evidence of ownership.
