Other relevant topics that are governed by the Civil Code or the Code of Obligations and fall under real estate law include:
In addition to this, disputes over land register entries may also arise. The land register is a publicly accessible register in which all the land of a municipality and the associated ownership and possession conditions can be viewed.
The costs covered by the insurance primarily depend on the contract. But here too, there are typical costs that are covered by real estate legal protection insurance. Below you will find an overview.
This depends on the specific insurance policy. As a rule, however, civil-law disputes relating to the insured property are covered, such as neighbor law, ownership issues and rights in rem*.
*Rights in rem means the right to a thing residing in every person which must be respected by everyone else. In this case, the item can be movable, such as an object, or immovable, such as land or a building.
The exact coverage of the costs is specified in the policies and General Insurance Conditions (GIC), but the costs of lawyers and experts as well as court costs are normally covered by real estate legal protection.
