talteenoton

Talteenoton is a Finnish legal term referring to measures by authorities to take control of assets or property in order to prevent their dissipation, preserve value, or secure a claim. The concept is used in several areas of law, including debt enforcement, criminal investigations, and administrative decision-making.

In practice, talteenotto can involve actions such as freezing bank accounts or other funds, immobilizing or taking possession of movable property, and placing documents or records under custody. The aim is to safeguard assets so that a potential or pending claim can be satisfied or a decision can be enforced effectively.

Measures of talteenotto are typically ordered by a court or by an enforcement or regulatory authority and must be justified by necessity and proportionality. Affected parties generally have the right to challenge the measure in court, and the arrangement is usually temporary, lasting only as long as it serves its stated purpose. The exact procedures and safeguards are defined by applicable laws and regulations governing enforcement, criminal procedure, and administrative acts.

Talteenotto is related conceptually to other forms of asset restraint, such as temporary seizures or protective measures, but it is distinguished by its broader aim of preserving value or securing a financial claim across civil, criminal, and administrative contexts.
