Accession in Romania

Real estate lawyers in Romania. Accession in Romania

According to the regulations contained in the New Civil Code, accession in Romania is a method of acquiring property whereby the owner of a good becomes the owner of everything that is attached to it, unless there are contrary provisions in this regard. Depending on the nature of the good whose property is acquired, accession can be of two types: real estate accession in Romania and movable accession. Real estate accession in Romania is further divided into two categories: natural and artificial.

Natural real estate accession refers to situations where a piece of land changes due to natural causes (such as the accumulation of alluvium on the bank of a river or the change of a watercourse). The owner of the land benefits from these natural changes and becomes the owner of the land thus enlarged.

On the other hand, when a person other than the owner of the land makes constructions or plantings on that land, these will revert to the owner of the land, even though they were made by someone else, which means we are dealing with artificial real estate accession. The person affected by this, although they will not have the right to acquire ownership through real estate accession, may still obtain compensation from the landowner.

Real estate accession can lead to complex disputes over private property in Romania, often requiring the expertise of property dispute solicitors in Romania to clarify ownership rights and review the land register for legal accuracy.

The Romanian Law Firm Pavel Mărgărit and Associates recommends consulting a civil lawyer in Romania or a real estate litigation lawyer in Romania as this legal process can become complicated due to its nature and legal implications. Thus, real estate lawyers in Romania can help with the verification of documentation and clarification of ownership rights by reviewing all relevant legal documents, such as sales contracts and inheritance documents, which prove who is entitled to acquire ownership through real estate accession in Romania of the land and constructions or plantings made on it. A thorough check of the land register and consulting with property dispute solicitors in Romania can ensure proper legal guidance in such matters.

Real estate lawyers in Romania. Private property in Romania

In practice, things usually become more complicated, and disputes arise regarding the acquisition of property rights through real estate accession in Romania over goods that were made on someone else’s land or even on one’s own land but by someone else, which requires the intervention of the court to be resolved. In this context, the legal path to obtaining the rightful ownership is through a declaratory action for property rights, where a person asks the court to recognize the acquisition of ownership over a construction, planting, or other works made on land, based on real estate accession in Romania. Collaborating with a civil lawyer in Romania or a real estate litigation lawyer in Romania is an essential step in this situation, as they provide support in preparing the action, drafting the lawsuit request based on real estate accession in Romania or movable accession, and representing you in court, ensuring the respect of rights and obligations for all parties involved.

In cases involving real estate accession in Romania, it is crucial for the court to consider the good faith or bad faith of the person who carried out the works on someone else’s land, as this will be a determining factor in properly establishing the rights of each party involved in the declaratory action. Thus, if the person who performed the works on another’s land acted in good faith, believing they had the right to build, they may be entitled to appropriate compensation. The Romanian Law Firm Pavel Mărgărit and Associates recommends using the services of a civil lawyer in Romania or a real estate litigation lawyer in Romania to determine the legal options available to you in order to obtain the compensation you deserve.

However, if the works were carried out in bad faith, meaning that the landowner’s consent was not obtained, the court may even order the demolition of the works. A civil lawyer in Romania or a lawyer specializing in declaratory actions can defend your interests if you find yourself in a situation involving the acquisition of property rights through real estate accession in Romania over works carried out in bad faith. They will handle the drafting and submission of the lawsuit request for a declaratory action for property rights, present strong arguments in court, and assist you throughout all the necessary steps until a favorable solution is obtained. In cases of real estate accession involving private property in Romania, it is essential to work with experienced property dispute solicitors in Romania to resolve ownership conflicts and ensure legal compliance.
