Abstract
The author of the article conducts a comprehensive analysis of legal regulation of land
ownership in Ukraine. This study reveals the content of the concept of land as an object of property rights under Ukrainian law and demonstrates the dependence and variability of the meaning of the term «land plot» on the context of its use.
The author examines in detail the specifics of the content of land ownership: the essence of book ownership and the judicial practice of ways to protect it; the scope of the right to use a land plot, which is limited and determined by its intended purpose; the regime for exercising the right to dispose of land plots.
The author analyzes the peculiarities and problematic aspects of acquiring ownership of land plots for various purposes and in different ways. The author reveals the contradictions and imperfections of the articles of the Land Code regulating the content of agreements on transfer of ownership of land plots. The author of the article reasonably questions the position of the judiciary on the recognition of agreements as unconcluded in the absence of one or more of the essential terms of the agreement. The analysis of current legislation shows that in such cases the parties may not have complied with the proper form of fixing an essential condition, and therefore the agreement is concluded, but at the same time is void.
Considerable attention is paid to the analysis of a number of problematic issues of the subject composition in land ownership relations, namely, the presence of remnants of the Soviet era. The author has studied in detail the forms of land ownership and problematic issues existing in this area. The author considers the problematic issues in the implementation of the right of joint ownership of land, including by owners of apartment buildings, and provides options for their solution. The author presents the peculiarities of the Ukrainian version of the right of trust ownership of land plots as a way to ensure the fulfillment of obligations.
