Titles of property are registered in Malta.

The Maltese Courts do not subscribe to the concept of 'fair ownership' and ownership of property is based exclusively on the roots of title registered in Malta.  rent


Searches are routinely carried out by lawyers to provide evidence of legal ownership of property to the Civil Court. Searches are also carried out routinely before the sale or other transfer of the property and to check whether a property is hypothecally charged or not for the benefit of third parties.


Ownership and rights of inheritance.


Maltese legislation contains no restrictions on foreigners, including non-residents, ownership or inheritance of immovable property.


Marital rights.

Property in Malta belonging to a person before marriage is retained after marriage as a personal and separate property. Where such property becomes the principal domicile of a married couple, after the owner's death, the surviving spouse, which is not the legal owner, shall have the right of habitation, as well as a reserved proportion to which he/she is entitled.


Property automatically formed part of the so-called community of acquests after marriage, i.e. conjugal or common property, unless the spouses enter into a prenuptial contract stating that any property acquired after marriage is their separate personal property. The property inherited from a spouse after a marriage does not form part of the "Community of acquests" but is treated as his/her own and personal property but is nevertheless included in the "Community of acquests" any fruit derived from such a property at a marriage.


The law of the country in which the marriage took place applies to determine legal ownership of property between spouses. If their marriage was held in Malta the "acquisition community," in the absence of an agreement to the contrary, automatically applies, irrespective of where the spouses take up their principal residence. The "Community of Acqests" applies to all properties acquired after their arrival when their marriage is held outside Malta, but they are subsequently sent to reside in Malta. The law does not differentiate between property located within or outside Malta.


Minors can inherit property.


If the property transfers to a minor, a guardian will be appointed by the court either at the family's request or, if circumstances dictate that.
