Presentation of applications
Overview:
To get registration, deeds on properties are presented or lodged in the suitable Land Register Offices. Land Registries are organised by territorial principles as a general rule and different districts or jurisdictions may appear depending on the organisations of each Member State.
There are different modalities of presentation. Some LR systems admit presentations of the deeds through electronic procedures. Fax or mailings are sometimes used.Presentation of the deeds in the LR Offices may lead to specific entries or procedures that make sure the priority of the deeds and real rights which arrive firstly at the Land Register. Some LR systems develop these kind of entries for priority organizing its features, duration and effects.
Tax requirements are also remarked as prerequisite for registration.
