Introduction
The creation of the administration institution of immovable properties has a di erent
legal tradition in each of the European Countries main historical conditions that dictate of
accompany a country1.
Most of the European countries are a ected from the French system in se ing up the foundation
of immovable property registration system. Meanwhile Albania initially had its impact from
the Turkish system. The rst registration of real assets in all European countries started as
a necessity to specify the data of properties, aiming to harvest the taxes. The development
of a reliable system in order to transfer the rights of property, presents a huge impact in the
decrease of poverty and an e ective impact in increasing the wealth, though safe investments,
using the immovable properties as a production factor and a base for capital requirements,
and the use of real assets as collaterals2.
The institution of administration of immovable properties is very important especially for the
reason of guaranteeing the safe rights of ownership, which continue to be the main means for
revenue generation.
The aim for this study is to evaluate the evolution of the institution of the property registration
system of real assets in Albania during the historical periods, from the creation of the Albanian
state. This goal will be reached though a historical analyses of the creation of the public
institution that registers, administers and analyses the data for the real assets, as an important
element to present the impact e ects that the registration public institution is today.
Through this analyses we have answered the question: How does the historical evolution of the
administration of the immovable properties play a role in the management of the new system
of registration of these properties in Albania? This study is based on the historical method, as
in this way we can identify the creation and progress of the institution of registration of real
assets. This helps us to understand the fact that the historical aspect is related to the progress
of this institution. The problems are directly related with the process of the creation of this
institution. The evolution and the historical importance of the institution’s creation constitutes
an interes in the study, as based on it are re ected the important e ects that have had an
impact in the progress of the today system, which help us understand to reach to the certain
conclusions on the di culties noted in the adoption of the legal changes.
