kadastersystemen

Kadastersystemen, often referred to as land registration systems, are governmental or administrative systems used to record ownership, transactions, and the physical characteristics of real property. These systems aim to provide a clear and public record of land rights, facilitating secure property transactions and supporting land management. The core functions typically include mapping land parcels, documenting ownership details, and recording encumbrances such as mortgages or easements. Different countries and regions employ various types of cadastral systems, which can broadly be categorized into deed registration systems and Torrens systems. Deed registration systems focus on registering the documents that prove ownership, while Torrens systems aim to guarantee title and simplify transfers by creating a central register that is conclusive evidence of ownership. The establishment and maintenance of a cadastre are crucial for economic development, urban planning, taxation, and dispute resolution related to land. Accuracy and accessibility are key features of an effective kadaster, ensuring that individuals and institutions can reliably ascertain property rights and responsibilities.
