splitsingsakt

Splitsingsakt is a legal document used in some Nordic countries to divide a single property into two or more separate properties or to allocate portions among co-owners or heirs. The act records the boundaries, the parcels created, and the ownership or shares assigned to each new parcel, including any common parts, easements, or restrictions that remain after the partition.

Typical content includes a description of the original property, a plan with new parcel descriptions and cadastral identifiers, area measurements, names of the grantees, and the allocation of ownership shares or purchase prices, as well as notes on rights of way or other encumbrances. The document may also reference required approvals, such as planning or zoning conditions and any existing mortgages or liens.

Preparation generally requires a qualified professional such as a surveyor or real estate attorney. All affected co-owners or heirs must consent, and in some cases supervision by a court or municipal authority may be needed, particularly where mortgages or other liens are involved. Once drafted, the splitsingsakt is executed by the parties.

Registration and effects: The splitsingsakt is typically registered with the land registry or cadastral authority to update titles and create separate deeds for the new parcels. Registration extinguishes the old single title and assigns new titles to each parcel, which can affect property taxes, mortgage rights, and future transfers.
