Överlåtelsehandlingar

Överlåtelsehandlingar is a Swedish legal term that translates to "transfer documents" or "deed of transfer" in English. These are legal documents used to formally transfer ownership of property from one party to another. The most common types of överlåtelsehandlingar relate to real estate, but they can also be used for other assets such as vehicles or businesses.

For real estate, an överlåtelsehandling is crucial for the legal transfer of ownership. It typically includes details about the property, the seller (överlåtare) and the buyer (förvärvare), the purchase price, and the date of transfer. This document serves as proof of the transaction and is essential for registering the new owner with the relevant authorities, such as the Lantmäteriet (Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority). Without a properly executed överlåtelsehandling, the legal transfer of property ownership cannot be completed.

The creation and signing of an överlåtelsehandling often involve legal professionals like real estate agents or lawyers to ensure all legal requirements are met and the document is legally sound. It signifies the completion of a contract and the transfer of rights and responsibilities associated with the property. The term emphasizes the act of handing over or transferring possession and ownership rights.
