Property & real estate in Georgia

Acquisitions, disposals, ownership structures and real estate disputes.

Georgian property work requires a distinction between the land category, building and registered right. Foreign-investor eligibility should be examined separately, particularly where agricultural land is involved. A company acquisition may change control of a landholding vehicle without resolving every statutory condition, so title and permitted use need a dedicated review.

Trace the registered title, underlying acquisition documents and actual occupation before committing funds. Check boundaries, security, access, permitted use and rights affecting the site. A clean contractual promise cannot resolve a defective title or an unlawful building. Coordinate the conveyancing documents with registration, tax and any foreign ownership requirements, and preserve the evidence supporting each important assumption.

Key laws & official sources

Provides private-law rules for persons, property, obligations, family and inheritance; confirm the operative publication version and subsequent amendments.

How Jurisiti can help

A property review connects the title record with the building, its use and the people occupying it. Registration alone may not settle planning, contamination, co-ownership or possession issues. Local notarial formalities, foreign ownership restrictions and completion taxes should be addressed before funds are committed.

  • Title investigation and conveyancing
  • Security, easements and transaction documents
  • Occupation, boundaries and property disputes

Questions about your matter

How do I start a property & real estate enquiry in Georgia?

Identify the jurisdiction, the people involved, any existing proceeding or deadline, and the result you need. A short chronology and the key documents help define the proposed engagement before local professional arrangements are confirmed.

Can a cross-border matter involve more than one legal system?

Yes. Georgia may be one part of a wider matter involving another place of residence, contracting party, asset or forum. Applicable law, jurisdiction and enforcement should be assessed separately, using the relevant national and international rules.

Does this guide establish a lawyer-client relationship?

No. An enquiry or use of this guide does not establish an engagement. Conflicts, professional authority, scope, responsibilities and fees must be confirmed before work is undertaken.
