De lege lata the transformation of the right of perpetual usufruct of land built for residential purposes into ownership is done by law. Yet, it requires a determination in the form of a certificate from the relevant authority. The issued certificate entitles the holder to register ownership in the land and mortgage register and the court makes such an entry ex officio. However, it is possible to sell a residential unit before obtaining the relevant certificate since the share in the joint ownership of the property is the right related to the ownership of the unit. This requires drawing up a notarial deed pursuant to the present status of entries in the land and mortgage register whereas a further correction is made after obtaining the relevant certificate.
