KLOTINI SERGIS successfully pursued representation of the clients’ interests in two cases regarding the division of a joint property of spouses and the recognition of ownership rights. Upon examination of arguments and evidence provided by the attorney, the court found that the fact of acquisition of property during a cohabitation in a marriage in itself is not a basis to consider this it as a joint property of spouses, to which rules, stipulating that during the marriage all the property obtained by spouses or with the help of the other spouse is a joint property of spouses, are applicable. If the other spouse’s participation in the acquisition of a property and in the creation of a joint property cannot be established, such property cannot be recognized as a joint property of spouses.

Client representation in these cases was provided by the attorney at law PETERIS SERGIS.
