The issue of ownership of housing has always been one of the most important for every person. In Ukraine, with its complex history and changing legislation, disputes over the ownership of apartments, houses and other residential real estate, unfortunately, do not lose their relevance. Moreover, in today’s conditions, when many people have been forced to leave their homes, and legal relations have undergone significant changes, these disputes become especially acute and complex.
Why do disputes regarding housing arise? The reasons can be varied:
– Ambiguity of title documents. Outdated certificates of title, errors in registers, lack of proper inheritance registration – all these can become the basis for property claims.
– Joint ownership. Divorce, division of inheritance between several heirs, investment in real estate by several persons without a clear definition of shares often lead to conflicts regarding the use, disposal and even division of housing.
– Fraudulent activities. Unfortunately, in the real estate market there are cases of illegal possession of housing, forgery of documents, abuse of trust.
– Recognition of ownership rights in court. In many situations, especially when there are no proper documents or legal obstacles to the registration of ownership, the only way to protect your rights is to go to court.
– Disputes with state and local authorities. Issues of privatization, reclamation of property, recognition of illegal decisions of authorities regarding housing are also quite common.
What categories of housing disputes are most relevant today?
Given the current situation in the country, the following categories of disputes deserve special attention:
– Disputes regarding housing located in temporarily occupied territories or in war zones. Restoration of documents, proof of ownership, protection of property rights in the absence of access to real estate – these are extremely complex issues that require a deep understanding of the law and the specifics of the situation.
– Disputes over inheritance opened during martial law. The peculiarities of registration of inheritance in conditions of limited functioning of state bodies, missing the deadlines for acceptance of inheritance, establishment of facts of legal significance – all this requires qualified legal assistance.
– Disputes related to the internal displacement of persons. Issues of registration of place of residence, compensation for lost housing, provision of housing for internally displaced persons may give rise to legal conflicts.
– Disputes under contracts of sale and lease of housing concluded before or during martial law. Change of circumstances, impossibility to fulfill obligations, termination of contracts – these issues require careful analysis and legal settlement.
