Land register

07. July 06

Estonia has a system of a strong land register which ensures the legal certainty of immovable property ownership and hedges risks of immovable property transactions because:

the real rights related to a registered immovable are made public through the land register and nobody can be excused of nescience of the data of the land register;
real rights in immovable property are created, amended or extinguished by making a respective entry in the land register and they can be relied on upon making transactions;
entries regarding a registered immovable are made in the order of registering applications in the land registry journal;
the rights entered in the land register can be amended only on the basis of the application or consent of the owner of the right or through judicial proceedings.
