When a company, association or foundation acquires or transfers a property, more documents than the actual purchase or gift document need to be submitted.
Company
In the event of a merger, the company applies for legal registration with the help of a registration certificate from the Swedish Companies Registration Office. For more information on mergers, see Handbook Property Registration.
Non-profit association
If the transferor or acquirer of the property is a non-profit association, in most cases the following documents need to be submitted together with the application for legal registration:
- the association's statutes
- minutes from a competent meeting with a decision to sell or buy the property (complete property designation must be stated)
- protocol or other document showing who or who were the signatories when the acquisition document was signed
- registration certificate or extract from the association register if the association is registered. You can order the registration certificate or the extract from the register from Bolagsverket (new window) .
Foundation
If the transferor or acquirer of the property is a foundation, the following documents need to be submitted together with the application for legal registration:
- the foundation's statutes or the foundation ordinance
- extracts from the foundation register, which is available from the County Administrative Board, which shows who or what the signatories are. If the not foundation is registered, the foundation ordinance or other document showing who or who represents the foundation is required instead.
