How to locate records of land owned75 years ago in Poland?

I have grandparents that were known to have land in Poland. Can you advise on how to locate records of that land? Is there any site or organization that can recover land from 75 years ago?

Thanks

did you own it the last 75 years?

there is organization but unfortunately I don't remember name.... but you should first make sure that land you talking about is at the present territory of Poland.

As for getting back your property - hard!
Mob in charge of Poland pasted law against return property to owners and their heirs ...bastards !

saves PL a lot of hassle

Southern Poland was Celtic, can I get it back ;)

There has to be a cut off point, otherwise there would be too many empty places, which there are already.

Wrong! there is more to steal!


I don't think you know the subject enough to form an valid opinion, if you please.

If you know the location you need to get hold of the entry in the property register (Księga Wieczysta) and land register (Ewidencja Gruntów). If your grandparents are still listed as the owners on both, you have a relatively straightforward (although still long) process to get it signed over to their heirs through the courts. If someone else is listed as the owner on either or both, you have a bigger job ahead of you. Whatever happens you will still have to go through the courts as all changes to the property register are overseen by the judiciary. I advise you find a lawyer with a proven track record in this area.

Thank you very much.

yeah, lawyer or/and a cadastre surveyor.

Since we are on the subject, how do people stand as having owned property in Lwow ie now The Ukraine. I have deeds of some properties owned by my mother and maternal grandparents but I understand that compensation claims were to be in by 31st Dec 08, so it seems we have missed the boat. Is that so?

thats is plane robbery and what compensation are we talking? by PG?

I don't understand what you mean by that comment. What is 'plane' robbery? The compensation payments are/were made by the Polish Government.

I am sure he meant to type "plain robbery"

plain robbery
Polish Government ? by tax payers Why should Polish citizen give other Polish citizen monies for property stolen by others ?

I agree and was surprised that the Polish Government was paying the compensation, especially as some properties (as in my family's case) are now in The Ukraine so I assume that any resposiblilty lies with them.

Ukraine should give back to Poland stolen territories!!!
