Confirmation of ownership of TOT will be simplified

Internally displaced persons sometimes face the problem of lack of access to BTI documents on real estate located in the TOT or in the territories of hostilities.

This creates a problem with obtaining compensation under the eRestoration program for damaged or destroyed housing for persons whose ownership of real estate arose before 2013 and whose record in the State Register of Property Rights is missing.

To address this issue, a group of MPs registered Draft Law No. 11440.

It provides for a simplified procedure for confirming ownership of housing if it was registered through the BTI using paper records that are currently unavailable due to the temporary occupation or destroyed as a result of hostilities.

The document proposes to regulate the administrative procedure and give state registrars and notaries the right to enter information into the electronic State Register of Property Rights on the basis of title documents without confirmation of information from BTI.

Ways to regulate the registration of ownership of property in the TOT and the areas of hostilities due to the lack of access to BTI materials were discussed at meetings on housing for IDPs chaired by Vice Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk.

The official expressed gratitude to MPs, the Ministry of Justice, and the public sector for developing the relevant draft amendments to the legislation.

"I thank the authors of the bill. It isextremely important to allow the affected population to register their ownership of real estate, which is sometimes destroyed and located in the TOT, in a simplified manner," Iryna Vereshchuk emphasized.
