Nejib Marzouki

Real estate and land lawyer in Tunis

Land titles, property sales, shared ownership and ownership disputes.

A property is often the wealth of a lifetime or of a family. The firm checks the legal situation of a property before a purchase and defends its clients in ownership disputes, before the Land Court as well as before the ordinary courts.

It also assists Tunisians living abroad, who cannot follow their affairs on the spot themselves.

When to consult

  • You are buying or selling a property and want the preliminary agreement and the deed of sale to be secure.
  • The land title is not up to date, or the property is not registered.
  • The ownership or the boundaries of a plot are disputed.
  • A property is jointly owned by heirs and has to be divided.
  • You are in dispute with a tenant, a neighbour or a building manager.

How the firm works

  1. Checking the property

    Consultation of the land title, review of earlier deeds and of the charges on the property.

  2. Drafting and registration

    Drafting of the preliminary agreement and of the deed, then registration in the land register.

  3. Negotiation

    An agreement is sought between heirs, neighbours or co-owners when the dispute can be settled without a trial.

  4. Litigation

    Representation before the Land Court or the competent court, follow-up of expert reports, enforcement of the decision.

Frequent questions

Why consult before buying?

Because checking the title reveals what a visit does not show: mortgage, seizure, shared ownership, a title that is not up to date. It is simpler to know before paying.

I live abroad. Can you act for me?

Yes. The firm carries out the checks and follows the proceedings in Tunisia, and reports to you remotely. It tells you which documents to have drawn up in your country of residence.

Which documents should I bring?

The title deed or the land title number, the deeds of sale or of inheritance, the plans and the decisions already given.
