On June 11, 2025, the main provisions of the law “On State Registration of Real Estate, Rights Thereto, and Transactions Therewith” came into force.
Now, during the state registration of ownership rights, information regarding the joint property of spouses or former spouses must be entered into the real estate register. The certificate will indeed list both spouses, specifying that the property is held in joint ownership.
Prior to these changes coming into effect, such an object could be legally registered in the name of only one spouse, which created opportunities for abuse during the disposal of the property by the titled owner. Among other things, this innovation will simplify the procedure for dividing jointly acquired property upon the dissolution of a marriage.
