Local specifics
How Property Matters Work in Armenia
Armenian property law is based on the Civil Code and requires specific formalities. Below we summarise the key rules, deadlines, and professional requirements that affect real estate transactions and disputes.
Notarial certification and state registration
Contracts concerning immovable property — mortgage, pledge, usufruct, servitude, acquisition of development rights, and the transfer of immovable property — require notarial certification. Failure to observe the notarial form renders the transaction null and void. Rights to immovable property also require state registration.
Licensed advocates only
Advocacy in Armenia is a licensed, regulated profession. Only members of the Chamber of Advocates may act as advocates before the courts. Admission requires higher legal education and passing a qualification examination set by the Chamber. The Chamber maintains the register of advocates and the licence to practise.
Court language and interpretation
Court proceedings are conducted in Armenian, the sole official language of the Republic. Foreign parties who do not speak Armenian are assisted through interpreters. Your lawyer will handle all communication with the court and other parties in Armenian.
Limitation periods on request only
The court applies the statute of limitations solely upon the application of a party to the dispute; it is not applied by the court of its own motion. This means deadlines can be decisive if the opposing party raises them, so timely action is essential.
Community of acquests
Property acquired by spouses during marriage is their joint (common) ownership, unless otherwise provided by law or a contract between them. Property owned before marriage or received as a gift or by inheritance during marriage remains separate.

Questions & answers
Property Lawyers in Armenia: FAQs
What does a property lawyer in Armenia do?
A property lawyer advises on real estate transactions, drafts and reviews contracts, ensures notarial certification and state registration, and represents you in property disputes before Armenian courts. They help you navigate the formalities and protect your rights.
Do I need a notary for property transactions in Armenia?
Yes. Contracts concerning immovable property, including transfers, mortgages, and pledges, require notarial certification. Failure to observe this form renders the transaction null and void, so a lawyer will coordinate the notarial steps.
How long do I have to accept an inheritance in Armenia?
You must accept an inheritance within six months from the opening of the succession. This deadline is strict, and creditors’ claims against the estate are also subject to the same six-month period. A lawyer can help you meet these deadlines.
What is the limitation period for property disputes in Armenia?
The general limitation period is three years, but specific matters have shorter or longer periods: for example, voidable transactions have one year, while claims on null transactions have ten years. The court only applies limitation if a party requests it.
Can a foreigner buy property in Armenia?
Foreigners can generally buy property in Armenia, but the transaction must follow the same notarial and registration requirements as for locals. A property lawyer can guide you through the process and any language barriers.
How are property lawyers in Armenia regulated?
Property lawyers in Armenia are licensed advocates regulated by the Chamber of Advocates. They must hold higher legal education and pass a qualification examination. Only members of the Chamber may represent clients in court.
