Or how to find out if you own property in Croatia that you are not aware of? And more importantly, WHAT to do about it …..Please join us for an informative webinar on April 24th at 11:00 AM (EST) to explore the options available for Croatian-Americans interested in learning about what land rights they may have in Croatia and how to monetize or “clear title” on that land. The webinar will feature the following speakers: Davor Lauc from Terra Adriatica – Terra Adriatica (TA)was formed to challenge what has long held to be a fact in Croatia: that establishing clean title to some land is too complex, too expensive and too time-consuming to undertake. TA has spent 3 years developing Artificial Intelligence-based technology, automated processes and a deep understanding of how Croatian law operates in order to create a range of products and services that provide potential landowners with the ability to Search and Assess what rights they may have to land and a route for those with a valid claim to unlock that value through sale within a workable timeframe and at no upfront cost.
