Land registry - cancellation of rights in the land register

The deletion is made in the land register in such a way that in the column "Deletions" the serial number of the right, in the third section additionally the amount of the right, as well as the note: "Deleted on ..." is written. The right itself is crossed out in red or underlined.

Requirements

To cancel a right, an application is always required from a person entitled to file an application (usually the property owner) and an authorization from the entitled person(s) or creditor(s).
In exceptional cases, it is sufficient to submit a death certificate of the entitled person(s).

What documents do I need?

• Request deletion
  

  A written request is sufficient for the cancellation of a right in the Second Department (no notarial signature certification is required). An e-mail does not comply with the written form requirement.

  You can use the form under "Forms".

  As a rule, a property owner submits the application. It would also be conceivable for the person entitled to the right to file the application him/herself.

  For the cancellation of a right in the Third Division, the application of all land owners affected by the right must be submitted at least with signature certification.

  For this purpose, please consult a notary of your choice!

• Cancellation permit
  

  The cancellation authorization of the beneficiary of a right in the Second Division or the creditor of a right in the Third Division must always be submitted in a public or publicly certified document.

  Entitled persons or creditors must contact a notary of their choice for this purpose.

  Credit institutions as creditors of a right in the Third Division will provide you with corresponding deletion authorizations in the required form.

• Death certificate
  

  In certain cases, a right that is limited to the lifetime of a beneficiary can be cancelled by presenting a death certificate.

  This must then be presented in the original or as a certified copy.
