Ownership Transfer - Machinery & Heavy Equipment - Movable Property

Legal recording of procedures and obligations in the transfer and registration of ownership of machinery and heavy equipment between parties.

An ownership transfer structure regulates how machinery is legally transferred, how ownership rights are registered, and how risks and responsibilities are clearly established.

This arrangement covers, among other things:

  • Procedures for the transfer of machinery and equipment between seller and buyer.
  • Legal ownership transfer and registration with competent authorities.
  • Risk allocation and liability from the moment of transfer.
  • Verification and control of machine or equipment documentation and technical data.
  • Warranties and representations regarding ownership and any encumbrances on the machines.
  • Administrative obligations for registration and documentation of the transfer.

We prepare tailored documentation adapted to:

  • Private or commercial transfers of machinery and equipment.
  • New or used machines, including construction equipment and industrial installations.
  • Situations involving financing, leasing, or other security structures.
  • International transfers or export of machinery and equipment.
  • Specific agreements regarding ownership, use, and registration between parties.

The ownership transfer structure is legally established so that all rights, obligations, and procedures are clear, enforceable, and consistent within the entire contractual and commercial context.

Scope of documentation

    The engagement may include, among other things:

    • Recording of transfer procedures and ownership transfer.
    • Verification and control of machine or equipment identification and technical data.
    • Provisions regarding risk allocation and liability.
    • Warranties and representations by the seller regarding ownership and encumbrances.
    • Administrative and registration obligations with competent authorities.
    • Linking with existing contracts, security interests, or leasing arrangements.

    Each transfer is legally reviewed in advance to prevent interpretation differences, liability risks, and disputes in the ownership transfer of machinery and equipment.
