Title Cancellation and Registration

Prepared by: Constantinople

The First Transaction and Subsequent Acquisition

Transfer after a dispute arises does not mean title is always recoverable or that nothing can be done. Protection may apply to a third party acquiring in good-faith reliance on the register. Someone knowing or expected to know of unlawfulness has a different position. The first transfer's basis and the subsequent person's acquisition are examined separately.

Examining Good Faith in the Particular Case

The latest title alone is insufficient. Transfer dates, links between parties, prices and payment traces are assessed together. Actual use and when the action or objection became known may also matter. Kinship, rapid transfer or a low price alone do not conclusively decide the issue; they must be explained with other specific data.

Documenting the Transfer Chain

Prepare old and current entries, official sale documents, payment receipts and dispute notifications. Identify what is obtainable personally and what requires a court or competent institution. Accessing another person's account or gathering unlawful records is inappropriate. Submit existing messages and documents with originals preserved.

Claims and Injunction Planning

In a paid assessment, we explain in writing requirements for a title claim against the current owner and alternatives. A further-transfer risk is considered separately for an injunction. Access to documents and representation for an owner abroad are arranged at the outset. Alleged invalidity of an old transaction is not pursued on the assumption that every later acquisition automatically falls away.
