Acquisitive prescription of land

Questioner

Received a letter from the municipality containing a declaration of liberative prescription. I asked the notary what the costs are for: a deed of limitation. Notary states that it must also be reported and registered with the land registry! question: is a deed absolutely necessary and/or essential? Are the activities of the land registry also absolutely necessary? Or is the letter from the municipality stating: Liberating prescription recognized, sufficient?

Lawyer

This is a fact that is susceptible to registration but it is not mandatory. The law automatically links ownership to unlawful possession of 20 years. But if you ever plan to sell your property it is better to register this fact, and actually also in the case of inheritance and towards third parties who have to do with the sale and the inheritance.
