Easements
A property may be encumbered for the benefit of another property (easement) or a certain person (personal easement). The encumbrance consists in the fact that the owner of the land has to tolerate certain encroachments on his/her property or that he/she has to refrain from exercising his/her right of ownership in certain directions. Easements are, for example:
- Foot and driveway rights
- Passthrough rights
- Rights of use
Easements
In an easement, at least two properties are involved, one encumbered and the other entitled.
In order to establish an easement, it must be recorded in the Land Register.
Personal easements
In the case of a personal easement, a natural person or legal entity and not the respective owner of a property is entitled. Thus, an encumbered property is faced by an entitled person.
A usufruct and a residential right can only be established as a personal easement. The establishment of an easement usually requires a written contract and registration in the Land Register. These are in particular:
- the right of residence
- the usufruct
the independent and permanent building right
Notarization and public certification
The Land Registry Department does not draw up contracts. If required, please contact the Liechtenstein Bar Association.
