Division of Property

When the owner of a registered property has passed away, or after the dissolution of a marriage, cohabitation agreement, or any other community in which a registered property was co-owned, the common property needs to be divided.

In these cases, the registered property must often be allocated to, for example, one of the heirs, or, after a divorce or dissolution of a cohabitation agreement, to one of the partners. This must be done notarial by a deed of division.

In case of division of registered property from a deceased person, the investigation that has to be done by our office is very extensive. It is therefore not recommended to wait a long time to draw up a deed of division. Even after the dissolution of a marriage or a cohabitation agreement, it is important not to defer the division, as it can be possible that both parties remain liable for the mortgage loan on the property.
