Civil and Real Estate Law

Certainty of title and recovery of the property

We review the property before the transaction and litigate when the transaction fails.

We assist owners and investors with the legal analysis of the property (title review and land registry record), with the formalization of ownership, and with the recovery of ownership or of the debt (recovery of occupied land).

Services

We analyze the complete land registry record and point out what conditions the transaction before the client is bound.
