Leistungen A-Z

The deletion of encumbrances or restrictions (e.g. easement, usufruct) in the land register is possible if the person entitled waives the exercise of the right.

If a person dies in whose favour a right (e.g. a right of abode) is registered in the land register, the deletion of this right can be applied for by the owner of the property.

Cancellation may also be applied for if the right is subject to a condition or a time limit and the condition has occurred or the time limit has expired.

Application

The land register procedure is an application procedure. In the event of the death of the beneficiary or the renunciation of the right, no automatic deletion is carried out by the land registry.

• Request for cancellation
• Deletion consent of the person affected by the deletion of the right
• Death certificate if the person entitled is deceased

  The fee 14140 increases by 0.1 of the fee from the second for each further land registry involved.

• Application for cancellation
  The application must be submitted in writing to the land registry. The owner is entitled to file an application. The person whose right is to be extinguished may also submit the application. In most cases, applications for cancellation are submitted by the notary's office in connection with purchase or donation agreements.
• Cancellation authorisation or death certificate
  The beneficiary, e.g. of a usufructuary right, makes a declaration that the right can be deleted from the land register. The deletion must be expressly approved. The authorisation must either be declared before a notary public or the signature must be certified.
  If the beneficiary is deceased, please submit a death certificate with the application.

The land registry of the district court in whose jurisdiction the property is located is responsible.
