Ülekantatav

Ülekantatav is an Estonian adjective meaning transferable. It describes rights, assets, or obligations that can be moved from one party to another without changing their essential nature. In legal and business language it indicates that a transfer is legally valid under applicable terms, and is commonly used with items such as property titles, licenses, contracts, or financial instruments.

The word is formed from the verb associated with transfer and the common suffix -atav that marks capability. In usage, ülekantav agrees with the noun it modifies for number and case, and it appears in sentences as a descriptive qualifier rather than a separate action.

Typical contexts for the term include corporate transactions (such as transfer of shares), real estate or other asset transfers, licensing rights, and the assignment of receivables or other contractual rights. It helps distinguish items that can be moved or reassigned from those that cannot.

Limitations on transferability may arise from law, contract terms, or regulatory rules. Transfers often require consent, formal written agreements, or registration with authorities or registries. Because of these requirements, not every asset or right that could theoretically be transferred is necessarily ülekantatav in practice. In Estonian legal and contractual drafting, the term is used to clarify which elements may be transferred and under what conditions.
