Abstract

This paper dwells on the content and legal nature of state registration of rights to immovable property
and transactions involving it in the Russian Federation. The author points out why immovable property
is considered separately from other types of property and describes how legal regulation of immovable
property status is connected with clashes of public and private interests in it. Two aspects of state
registration under the federal law “On state registration of rights to immovable property and transactions
involving it” are analyzed in detail: the aspects establishing and confirming rights to registration, as well
as returning the term “strengthening of rights” to legal use. Further, the paper investigates the content
of registration publicity, in particular transparency of state registration of rights. The author distinguishes
between the time of property right and the time of state registration, which may not always coincide.
Separate consideration is given to the rights that originated in the period since the above federal law
came into effect and before State Registries (formerly – Federal Registration Service) were established
in respective regions.

Keywords

state registration of rights to immovable property, transparency of information on state registration, notarization of real estate transactions, origin of the right of ownership, registration procedure
