LAND LAW CONSULTING SERVICES

A land dispute refers to a disagreement regarding the rights and obligations of land users, land management rights, land disposition rights, and the rights and obligations of land users concerning land in areas that have existing zoning and land use plans.

Common land disputes include:

• Disputes over land use rights
• Disputes over land boundaries
• Disputes over compensation and site clearance when the state reclaims land
• Disputes over land inheritance matters
• Disputes over contracts for land transfer, gifting, or inheritance of land use rights

There are various causes of land disputes, including:

• Disputes over land use rights, ownership of housing, and assets attached to the land
• Disputes over land boundaries
• Disputes over compensation and site clearance when the state reclaims land
• Disputes over land inheritance matters
• Disputes over contracts for land transfer, gifting, or inheritance of land use rights

The authorities responsible for resolving land disputes include:

• The People’s Committees at the commune level
• The People’s Committees at the district level
• The People’s Courts

The procedures for resolving land disputes are outlined in Article 202 of the 2013 Land Law and include the following steps:

1. Mediating land disputes at the commune-level People’s Committee.
2. If mediation fails, submit the application to the district-level People’s Committee for resolution.
3. If disagreeing with the district-level People’s Committee’s decision, the parties have the right to appeal to the provincial-level People’s Committee or file a lawsuit in the People’s Court.

To ensure the legitimate rights and interests of the parties during the resolution of land disputes, the law provides measures such as:

• Temporarily suspending land use.
• Forcing the implementation of measures to prevent violations of land use rights.
• Forcing the implementation of corrective measures to remedy the consequences.

When determining land boundaries, it is essential to refer to relevant documents and materials related to the land of the involved parties, such as: land use rights certificates, cadastral records, cadastral maps, ledgers, and documents related to the land use of the concerned parties.

Here are some specific examples of difficulties clients may face when they are not familiar with land law:

• Clients who are involved in land transactions but are unaware of the regulations regarding land prices, land area, and land use purposes may be at risk of being deceived by the seller and losing money.

• Clients who are unfamiliar with the procedures for obtaining a land use rights certificate may experience delays in the issuance of the certificate or even be denied the certificate.

• Clients who do not understand the regulations regarding land expropriation may face illegal expropriation by government authorities.
