I have just begun to look into purchasing property in Croatia and one of my concerns is assuring that I have clear title on the property, and that no none will be showing up on my door in a years time claiming right of ownership. What is the general process for this and are you generally assured no other party holds title to the property? Mathew Hi Mathew Sorry to be slow responding. If the title is clear in the Land Registry you should not have any problem.

As a corollorary to this, if you have clear title through the Certificate of Title, no-one can reclaim it afterwards. In some areas of Croatia during the war, Serbian staff burned down the Kataster offices before vacating them, resulting in destruction of the records. Courts have sat since, rebuilding the records from other available records and claims from applicants. Provisional decisions were given pending an appeal period, but once that was over, the new Certificates of Title became binding.

I was asked yesterday about Italians reclaiming property nationalised after 1945 here in Istria. I have seen no reports of any doing so and asked my born and bred Istrian staff if they had heard of any such claims. They hadn't and pointed out that a lot of old houses which have title problems often have them precisely because the original Italians _are_ still listed on the title deeds, and are no longer alive to do something about them.
