13

At present it is NOT realistic to imagine standardized or harmonized real property rights and restrictions to enable cross border transactions

We can accomplish a lot if we have a terminological framework

14

What are the common factors in the structure of real property rights and restrictions?

Is it possible to achieve a standardized terminological framework for real property rights and restrictions – or is it a fools task?

15

Hypothesis:

5 types of real property rights

2 types of real property restrictions

16

A classification suitable for formal real property rights and restrictions

A step towards a common terminological framework used by cross- border transactions

Independent of any legal system
