Guide to obtaining the deed of origin

The deed of provenance is an official document that certifies that a person has become the owner (or holder of other real rights) of a property.

It can derive from a notarial deed, deed of gift, declaration of succession, court judgment, transfer decree, or other legal title  Now we will briefly see what a deed of provenance is.

It contains the identifying data of the property, the personal details of the parties involved, the date of stipulation or transcription and the registration details at the Revenue Agency or the Land Registry .

This is an essential document for numerous procedures, such as inheritance.
