Hi Peter,
I was born in Croatia and as a child migrated with my family to Australia. Some years back my parents returned to Croatia. My father has passed away and I am now required to claim land belonging to my father and grandmother in the Duga Resa area.
I have sent through paper work from the Croatian Embassy in Australia to the Court in Karlovac to claim this land. I have also received my certificate of Domovnica from the court.
I have a number of questions regarding the process of claiming land.
1. Is there a way of correctly locating the parcels of land which belong to me.
2. What is the correct procedure in claiming the land and then possibly selling it.
3. When my father and step mother returned to Croatia they moved in to a family home which was left to her by her parents. This house was completely renovated by my father and his money. My step mother has told me that the property by Croatian law states that it will be left to whom ever assists her if she ill. Is this advise correct or am I entitled to claim this land as well.
Can you advise me on these questions.

Hi Nena Sorry I didn't see this earlier. The parcels of land will each have a katastar number (k.c.). These will relate to the katastar plan for the relevant katastar office, in your case Duga Resa. If you go to www.katastar.hr/dgu/papl.php?so=323730&ff=0 you will find it as a subset of Karlovac. If you enter in the k.c. number, you will get a bit more information. The katastar registry is not particularly up to date, although it can be informative, particularly with plot sizes, which the court website, which is more up to date, doesn't always include. Have a look at e-izvadak.pravosudje.hr/mpweb/jsp/zk/zemljiste.jsp?gkid=5093750026 for current information on who the registered owner is of the plots. I can't help you with the katastar maps for that area. I've got them for Istria but not the Karlovac area. The local katastar office can provide them, though. To register ownership you really need a local lawyer. If you email me directly at peter.ellis@croatiapropertyservices.com I'll put you in touch with an English/Croatian speaking one. HTH Peter

Sorry! I missed your last question. I haven't heard of what you describe. Did your father leave a will? Overseas wills are recognised in Croatia, so it doesn't necessarily have to have been made here. If he didn't, the normal procedure would be for the property to be equally divided between any surviving spouse and children. The lawyer can advise more specifically on this.
Kindest regards

Hi Peter, My name is Mark I'm wondering if you are able to help me I have recently been given some paperwork from my mother left to her by her mother stating that she has a 1/4 share in some land in Croatia left to her by her Father who was born in Croatia. The paperwork itself is in english but it has a list of codes so im not sure how to go about claiming the land or if it has been built on or not. The Document I have is from the Department of Internal Affairs of New Zealand,it is a court document from the Municipal at Makarska, so I'm just wondering if you could point me in the right direction. Kind Regards Mark

Hi Mark
Scan and send me what you have and I'll see what I can do. Makarska is not our main area, but it should be possible to give you some idea. Send it to peter.ellis@croatiapropertyservices.com.
I didn't notice your post earlier.
Kindest regards
