10. What kind of documents are required to sell a plot of land?

The following documents must be submitted for the sale of land at the Notary’s Office:

– an excerpt from the Land and Mortgage Register or an indication of the Land and Mortgage Register number of the real estate,

– the basis for the purchase of real estate (notarial deed),

– an excerpt from the Land Register including the note that it is the basis for an entry in the Land and Mortgage Register,

– an excerpt from the record map – if the plot is detached from the Land and Mortgage Register to the newly established one, including the note that it is the basis for an entry in the Land and Mortgage Register,

– a certificate from the Regional Office about the purpose of the plot in the Local Spatial Development Plan or about its absence,

– a certificate of the plot being covered by a Simplified Forest Management Plan or a decision of the Starost referred to in Art. 19 paragraph 3 of the Forest Act,

– a certificate which will show whether the plot is located in the area for which the Commune Council has adopted a resolution on revitalization, a degraded area or a Special Revitalization Zone.

Additionally, if the plot is purchased in a form other than purchase (e.g. inheritance, donation), in addition to the above-mentioned documents, the following statements will also be necessary:

– a decision confirming the acquisition of an inheritance or an inheritance certificate,

– in case of acquisition of real estate in inheritance, a donation (after January 1, 2007), free dissolution of joint ownership or prescription, additionally must be obtained a certificate from the Tax Office confirming that the acquisition was tax-free or that the tax was paid.

The above list may be modified depending on the final verification of the legal status of the real estate, therefore the notary may require additional documents. During organizing the transaction by Leach & Lang, we always offer our clients full coordination of the transaction, including obtaining documents for the transaction (based on the appropriate power of attorney from the seller).
