Experts explained who should qualify land rights.
Land owners whose boundaries have changed in practice are advised to take care in advance of qualifying their rights to the land.
Most of the time, such changes occur without malicious intent: instead of a dilapidated fence, they put up a solid fence that extends 15 cm into the neighbor's territory, they expand the garden behind the house, or when they build a bath house, they go beyond the boundaries of the site.
"It is possible that the owners, and even more so the heirs, due to the long-standing events, do not remember or know about facts of this type. However, if the actual boundaries do not coincide with the information from the United State Land Registry, it is better to identify the problem in advance," states the State Property Commission.
In the case of unauthorized seizure of land, there is a fine and a requirement to vacate the area, and the building may receive unauthorized status.
It is recommended to check the area before the situation turns into a dispute with neighbors or a problem in the sale of real estate.
