If a person dies in whose favor a right is registered which, like a usufruct or a residential right, is limited by law to the lifetime of the beneficiary, this right expires. The deletion of the right can then be applied for by the owner of the property.
Prior restitution notices secure the claims of sellers, for example, to the retransfer of a property. Such priority notices of reconveyance are often found in combination with a usufruct and right of residence, for example if a property is transferred as part of anticipated succession and the transferor is granted a right of residence or usufruct to the property.
The deletion of a usufruct, residential right or priority notice of rescission can be applied for at the land registry on presentation of the death certificate. Please note the following:
A fee of EUR 25 is charged per deleted right in accordance with No. 14143 KV Kostenverzeichnis zum Gerichts- und Notarkostengesetz (GNotKG).
Anyone who buys a plot of land or a condominium must be entered in the land register as the owner.
