The process of buying a property under a sale contract is not sufficient to transfer and register the property in the name of the buyer, rather it must be followed immediately by the process of transferring the ownership of the property in the real estate registry and registering it in the name of the buyer, or according to a judicial ruling claiming confirmation of sale.
If the real estate seller dies and the buyer only bought it under a contract, then he wanted to carry out the transfer of ownership, he must file a sale confirmation lawsuit against the seller’s heirs, which is actually difficult, especially if their numbers are large, and the places of their residence are different, and some of them may not acknowledge the sale, which leads to complicated procedures, and even after everyone agrees, the court must compel the buyer to take the swear the Supporting Oath.
