German term

ideelle Miteigentumsanteile

German to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Kaufvertrag
Hi,

This is another question from the Austrian sales contract. I am not sure about ideelle Miteigentumsanteile..... Should I translate that as "ideal co-ownership shares" or something with condominium units?? I am stuck and would appreciate any help.

Thanks. Here is the sentence:
Die Übergabe und Übernahme der ideellen Miteigentumsanteile erfolgt nachdem der Gesamtkaufpreis am Konto der Vertragsverfasserin XXXX eingelangt ist. Die Übergabe und Übernahme erfolgt mit allen Rechten und Pflichten, mit denen die Verkäuferin die gegenständliche Wohnung besessen hat.

Thank you all so far and thanks Derek for your extra research. I will grade this tomorrow - I cannot decide yet what to choose. I want to ask some people, etc. Interestingly enough the first word I had considered was notional because I found it in the Hamblock/Wessels dictionary. Then, however, I was considering ideal and then I just asked! I really appreciate all of your efforts!!

Hi Margaret,

It is about condos. It is a contract between an Austrian company and two Swedish nationals

Is it about condominiums? What is being sold?

notional shares of co-ownership -> commonhold interests (BE)/condominium units (AE)

These rights are being handed over or vested - suggesting outwardly a Commonhold or Condo in a house or block of flats.

Inwardly between the co-buyers, a joint tenancy might be created: a state of concurrent ownership by two or more persons who are treated as a single unit, no one person having a sep. share.

Miteigentum -> Eigentum mehrerer Personen an einer Sache, wobei jeder eine Quote hat (ideeller Anteil): Österr. RechtsWB, Juridica Verlag.

'... zB 1/2, 1/10, 2/5. Mit der Bezeichnung „ideeller“ Anteil wird ausgedrückt, dass einem einzelnen Miteigentümer an und für sich kein realer Teil gehört. ...'

agree Margaret Marks : Notional is excellent, but is it a shared flat?

Thanks. I looked at our own Kaufvertrag/contract of sale for our Vienna flat. It referred to 'Ehegattenwohnungseigentum' i.e. joint tenancy inwards - and not ideelle MA. This made me think this was a commonhold scene outwardly, no matter how many buyers.
agree Derek Gill Franßen : Yes, "notional shares in co-ownership" or "ideal shares in co-ownership" (IMHO). :-)

I'm unsure 'ideal shares' would be readily intelligible to an Eng.-speaking conveyancer or land lawyer.

non-material co-ownership shares

The German term "ideell" is distinct from "ideal". The one means "in idea" as in "non-physical", the other means "ideal" as in "optimal" or "most suitable"

notional co-ownership shares

I am just agreeing with "Counsel", following the asker's reply. It sounds as if two people jointly own or are buying a house or flat and their shares are undivided - they jointly own the whole - but for the purpose of payment they each have an imaginary share of half each - but they can't just each sell their half to someone else if they want, i.e. they don't have actual shares.

I did a little more research and I think that \"ideal shares in co-ownership\" is used, not only in America, but also in the UK and in Canada (see: http://socserv2.socsci.mcmaster.ca/~econ/ugcm/3ll3/misc/laps... AND http://www.findaproperty.co.uk/cgi-bin/agent.pl?agentid=4904... AND ESPECIALLY ARTICLE 13 PAGE 3 http://www.osce.org/documents/fry/2001/11/122_en.pdf). ;-)
