Legal Sandbox Georgia provides specialized legal services for navigating non-contentious proceedings, a distinct and critical area of civil law in Georgia. Unlike traditional lawsuits, these court actions are not initiated to resolve a dispute between opposing parties but to formally establish a legal fact, confirm a right, or define a legal status where no controversy exists. The primary purpose of this procedure is to create legal certainty and prevent potential future conflicts by obtaining a definitive court judgment. Our legal team in Tbilisi possesses the deep expertise required to manage these cases with the meticulous precision and unwavering adherence to the law that they demand, ensuring a seamless and successful outcome for our clients.
The framework for these actions is meticulously outlined in the Civil Procedure Code of Georgia, which differentiates this process from standard contentious litigation. The fundamental distinction lies in the absence of a legal dispute and, consequently, the lack of opposing parties such as a plaintiff and a defendant. Instead, the process is initiated by an "applicant" who seeks the court's validation of a specific fact or right. While there is no defendant, other individuals or entities whose rights could be affected by the court's decision may participate as "interested parties." Should a legal dispute arise during the proceedings, the court will dismiss the application, directing the parties to resolve their issue through a formal lawsuit.
Our services encompass the full spectrum of cases considered by the court under non-contentious proceedings as stipulated by Georgian law. We provide comprehensive legal support in matters concerning the declaration of a citizen as missing or deceased, the restoration of rights to lost bearer or order securities through summons proceedings, and the recognition of property as ownerless. Furthermore, our expertise extends to sensitive family matters such as the legal finalization of adoption, the recognition of a child as abandoned, and obtaining judicial consent for living donorship. Each of these categories requires a unique approach and a thorough understanding of specific legal requirements, which our firm is fully equipped to handle.
A significant portion of our practice is dedicated to the establishment of legally significant facts, which are foundational to the creation, modification, or termination of personal and property rights. We assist clients in legally confirming kinship, establishing the fact of a person being a dependent, and validating facts related to paternity, marriage, or divorce registration. Our services are also crucial for resolving discrepancies in official documents, such as establishing the ownership of a title document when the name recorded does not match the owner's passport. We also expertly manage cases to establish the fact of inheritance acceptance and the place of the opening of succession, providing our clients with the legal certainty needed to protect their assets and rights.
