Short answer

Yes, if the apartment is established to be joint matrimonial property. One name in the register does not remove the other spouse’s potential rights, but acquisition timing and basis matter.

Practical example

An apartment bought during marriage from earnings is registered only to one spouse. Marriage and purchase documents need assessment to determine shares.

What to do

Obtain the extract, acquisition contract, marriage certificate and marital agreement. Find evidence of the funding source if necessary.

Points to consider

For gifted or inherited property, the fact of single-name registration alone does not produce the same outcome.
