- What is the difference between ownership and usufruct (right of use) in Bulgaria?
- Ownership (право на собственост) confers the right to possess, use, enjoy the fruits of, and dispose of a property. Usufruct (право на ползване) is a limited real right — the usufructuary may use the property and collect its fruits, but cannot sell it. Usufruct is personal and non-transferable, and terminates on the death of the usufructuary or on expiry of any agreed term.
- How is co-ownership of Bulgarian real estate divided?
- Co-ownership (съсобственост) is terminated by voluntary partition (by notarial deed between the co-owners) or by a partition action (иск за делба) under Art. 341 CPC. In judicial partition, the court either divides the property in kind (if physically divisible) or orders a public auction and distributes the proceeds among co-owners according to their shares. The right to demand partition cannot be waived and is not subject to any limitation period.
