When a legal dispute involves real estate, proceedings can last for years. During that time, the key concern is preventing the property from being sold, gifted, or burdened by the opposing party.
The legal tool used to safeguard your interest is the Notice of Litigation entered in the Land Registry.
🧾 What is a Notice of Litigation?
It is a registry entry showing that a dispute is ongoing regarding a property. It does not change ownership, but restricts disposal of the property.
📌 Filing the Request
The request is submitted to the competent land registry office, accompanied by proof that litigation is ongoing.
🧠 Practice: Common in disputes regarding inheritance, ownership, division of property, and investment-related disputes.
❓ FAQ:
1) No — it does not transfer ownership.
2) The property becomes difficult to sell once registered.
3) If you live abroad, actions can be taken based on a power of attorney.
