Sažetak
The paper examines the procedures of immovable property transfer in a medieval Dalmatian town by using Zadar as a case study. First of all, the paper deals with immovable property transfer through purchase contracts and the fact that they often do not reveal the reality that lies behind the surviving legal act. Next mechanism of immovable property transfer analysed in the paper was conducted through the institution of inheritance. Two models are distinguishable here. The first is testament based inheritance, and the other one is ab intestato inheritance. The procedure of the latter is reconstructed using the surviving court records. And finally two mechanisms closely related to judicial practice are examined as well. These took place on the basis of sentences issued by civil courts, regardless of whether those were regular decisions or the ones that resulted from the defendant’s contumacy, and regardless of whether the process was about a piece of immovable property or about a money debt.
