Notice of prohibition of disposing of the ownership

Home / European Land Registry Network / Malta / Notice of prohibition of disposing of the ownership

1. Does your national system admit such restriction?

This land register system envisages this kind of notice or includes the possibility of registering a notice as such.

In case of warrant or seizure, we are notified and thus we accept such restriction.

Assets are frozen from the Asset Recovery Bureau – we are not notified and thus we won’t be aware for us to take into account such restriction

2. In your system, once registered this restriction, does it block or freeze subsequent registrations (mostly the ones promoted by the owner of the property) until being removed?

Once registered this restriction, the effect is to block or freeze subsequent registrations, apart from implying a warning to third parties.

3. In your system, in principle, will the registration of this restriction be temporary (under a deadline) or indefinitely (it will be in force until being removed)?

In this system the duration of the registration of this restriction will be indefinite (until removed or deleted).

4. Indicate the national legal sources about this judicial restriction

There is no legal basis.

5. Please, give us an idea about the characteristics of the registration of this restriction in your system

A remark is put down in our system regarding who is making the warrant and who is being the subject of such warrant. Such remark will only be removed if there is a counter warrant or there is an order from court. Until this is removed, no registrations are allowed.
