Action for annulment of a title deed in Romania

Civil lawyer in Romania. Annulment of a title deed in Romania

The action for annulment of a title deed in Romania occurs when it is found that there is a property deed in Romania issued illegally, erroneously, or fraudulently in the name of a person who is not entitled to the reconstitution of the property right. The basis for initiating an action in the nullity of title deed in Romania is Law No. 18/1991 on the land fund in Romania, as well as Law No. 169/1997 for amending and supplementing the land fund in Romania, which regulates the reconstitution and establishment of the property deed in Romania. The notion of land fund in Romania includes land of any kind located on the territory of Romania, regardless of the purpose for which they are used, whether they are part of the public domain or the private domain, or on the basis of which the property documents in Romania are held.The Romanian law firm Pavel Mărgărit and Associates recommends consulting a civil litigation lawyer in Romania for drafting the lawsuit petition aiming at the cancellation of title deed in Romania, assisting or representing the client’s interests both before the competent court to resolve the case and before the public authorities responsible for fulfilling the publicity formalities.

Civil litigation lawyer in Romania. Who can bring an action for nullity of title deed in Romania?

To demonstrate the status of a landholder, the holder must have a property deed in Romania or another real right, or must qualify as a possessor or precarious holder. In cases where it is found that a property deed in Romania was issued without complying with legal provisions, interested persons have the option to file an action for the nullity of title deed in Romania, specifically for the annulment of a title deed in Romania. Therefore, individuals who can request the court to declare that a the property deed issued over the land in Romania is affected by absolute nullity in Romania include the mayor, who is also the chairman of the local land fund in Romania commission, the prefect, the prosecutor, the National Authority for Property Restitution, or any other person with a legitimate interest in this regard. The request must be filed with the court within whose jurisdiction the land is located, as jurisdiction for such disputes lies with the courts of general jurisdiction.

However, the active legal standing may not be recognized by the court, depending on the category of legal subjects to which the plaintiff belongs and the conditions that must be met. For example, in the case of an action for the nullity of title deed in Romania initiated by a mayor, it is not necessary to have a request for the reconstitution of the property right, as it is presumed. The same applies to the prefect and the National Authority for Property Restitution, who have specific responsibilities in identifying issues concerning any property deed in Romania issued illegally or related to a land fund in Romania.

On the other hand, the same does not apply to other individuals who have a legitimate interest in promoting an action for the absolute nullity in Romania of the property deed issued over the land in Romania, as they are required to submit a request for the reconstitution of the property right.

Additionally, the assistance of an experienced civil litigation lawyer in Romania is crucial for obtaining and presenting relevant evidence before the court, such as the property documents in Romania, cadastral documents, or technical expertise.
