Disputes over Property Titles in Egypt — Key Steps & Remedies
This guide explains how to secure evidence, protect your position at the land registry Egypt, and choose the right action for any title deed dispute. If your case involves a double sale in Egypt or a forged POA in Egypt, early injunctions and cautionary notations are essential.
Double Sale in Egypt — What It Means and How to Respond
A double sale in Egypt happens when the same property is sold to more than one buyer. Typical remedies include actions for nullity, delivery, or damages. Early steps may involve a cautionary registration/notation and an urgent injunction to freeze transfer attempts.
- First actions: secure evidence (contracts, receipts, correspondence) and place timely land registry Egypt notations.
- Civil route: claim for validity and enforceability of your contract against later buyers acting in bad faith.
- Criminal angle: fraud or breach of trust may be considered depending on facts and documents.
Forged POA in Egypt — Civil and Criminal Angles
Sales based on a forged POA in Egypt can be challenged by seeking nullity of the sale and deletion of resulting entries. A forensic handwriting report and the notary’s records are key. Parallel criminal complaints may run alongside civil claims where forgery is evidenced.
Title Deed Dispute: Required Evidence and Typical Timeline
For any title deed dispute, courts rely on originals and certified copies. Expect hearings for expert reports and registry inquiries. Timelines vary by the court’s workload and the need for technical expertise. We issue a case-specific plan after the initial assessment, including likely milestones and costs.
- Contracts, receipts, and previous registrations/notations.
- Notary records, POAs, and witness statements (if applicable).
- Expert reports (handwriting/survey) and municipal documents.
