- On a sale, ownership of a property only changes with the conveyance (Auflassung) and the land-register entry; on inheritance it passes by law and the land register is corrected. Transferring the digital folder transfers access rights to data, not ownership.Notary and land registry
- ImmoDok gives no legal advice. Whether a fact must be disclosed or a clause holds is for a lawyer to answer.Lawyer
- ImmoDok gives no tax advice and computes no taxes. Categories and yearly packages order receipts factually, the assessment is the tax advisor's.Tax advisor
- Signatures under a handover are simple electronic signatures or documented signatures on paper, not a qualified electronic signature.Evidential weight in a dispute: for the courts
- Deadlines and dates in ImmoDok are organisational: they come from your entries and documents. Where ImmoDok shows a computed date, such as the warranty end or the six months under § 548 BGB, it is calculated from your entries; whether the period applies, when it starts and whether it is suspended, ImmoDok does not check.Every entry links its source
- Content is the users' own statement. ImmoDok verifies neither ownership nor the authenticity of uploaded papers.Checksums prove unchangedness, not authenticity
The result: You know what the documentation is good for, an ordered, traceable factual basis, and where notary, lawyer and tax advisor take over.
Important: This page describes product boundaries and is itself not legal advice.
What if it does not work?
- Do I still need a notary, lawyer or tax advisor despite ImmoDok?
- Yes, fully, for deeds, legal questions and tax assessment respectively. ImmoDok prepares their work; it does not replace it.
