Rights in rem

By a right in rem is meant: a right which rests on an object or good

By a right in rem is meant: a right which rests on an object or good. You can think of the establishment of easements, building rights, leasehold rights or usufruct. A right in rem remains on an object, regardless of changing ownership. When purchasing a new plot of land or real estate, you will of course first want to know what rights in rem rest on it. Thorough research is essential for this.

A right in rem can also arise over time as a result of time-barring, for example because a person has been walking over a certain plot of land for 10 or 20 years or has taken possession of a plot of land that does not actually belong to him during this period. This can be important if you want to buy a piece of land and have to take a possible right of this person into account.

However, it is also possible that you would like to free your property from its rights in rem.
