Acceptance of Law as a Way to Protect Rights in Rem

Abstract

The article analyzes features of such legal category as property rights, and clarifies the conditions and characteristics of their protection by claim for recognition of the right. In the focus of attention is research of not only theoretical problems, but the research of practical issues, primarily, the grounds for recognition of law as a way of protecting civil rights and interests. Special attention is paid to the views of leading scholars on civil doctrine as to the concept and content of recognition of the right of protecting civil rights and interests. It has been proved that it may occur in cases, when: a) assignee of property rights has no evidence of such rights (documents are lost, destroyed, etc.); b) subjective rights of the assignee have not been legally confirmed (the right of co-owner for a share in together acquired property due to joint construction, acquisition, improvement, etc; successor’s rights, who actually came into possession of hereditary property and received inheritance under the legislation (living together with the testator, infancy or incapacity of the heir, but a certificate of inheritance have not been received in the prescribed manner); c) a person, who does not recognize the law, casts doubt on its existence within certain limits or completely denies the existence of such a law; cases when there arises a need to prove in court the right to another’s property.
