Kinnistusõiguste

Kinnistusõigused, known in English as land registration rights or cadastral rights, refer to legal rights related to the ownership and use of real estate as recorded in a land registry. These rights establish a formal and publicly accessible record of property ownership, encumbrances, restrictions, and other relevant legal interests associated with a parcel of land or a building.

In the context of Estonian law, kinnistusõigused are governed by the Land Register Act and related legislation. The land register, or kinnistusraamat, serves as an official database maintained by the Land Board, providing detailed information about property rights, mortgages, leases, servitudes, and other legal encumbrances. This system aims to ensure legal certainty and transparency in property transactions and ownership.

Kinnistusõigused can include various types of rights such as ownership rights, usufructs, easements, and restrictions. These rights allow property owners and holders to use or restrict the use of land in accordance with legal provisions. The registration of kinnistusõigused is usually mandatory for establishing legal ownership and securing interests in property.

Changes to kinnistusõigused are typically recorded through official registration processes, whichmay involve transfers, mortgage registrations, or amendments due to legal actions or agreements. The land register provides a reliable source of verification for property rights, facilitating real estate transactions and legal disputes.

Overall, kinnistusõigused play a crucial role in the legal framework of property law by providing clarity, security, and formal recognition of rights related to land and buildings.
