        CO-OWNERSHIP OF THE SPOUSE AS A THIRD

                                                 UDK: 347.626 (497.6)
                                                 Scientific review paper


   In the paper, a normative-dogmatic identification of the adopted legal models of co-ownership
of real estate, as a separate right of a third party in the enforcement procedure, was performed, as
well as an analysis of the legal models of the martimonial property regime in the entities of Bosnia
and Herzegovina. Current available domestic jurisprudence and legal theory were also considered.
This, with the aim of determining whether the possibility of a spouse co-owner of real estate from
the matrimonial property as well as a third party in enforecement proceedings, depends on the
specifically adopted legal model, so that the enforcement conducted against the other spouse as the
executive debtor is declared inadmissible in relation to his co-owned part.
   It is concluded that the co-ownership of the spouse who is not the executive debtor, in the
procedure conducted for the purpose of forced settlement of the creditor of the other spouse of on
the real estate as martial property, as a separate right, depends on the general legal model of co-
ownership as a part of the right on the real estate as the object of execution. In order for the spouse,
as a third party, to succeed with his separate objection, he needs to prove the existance of additional
circumstances, specific to the martial status of the subjects and to the object of ececution. This,
howewer, should not be understood as an udnue burden on the third party spouse, compared to other
third-party-co-owners.


   Key  words: martial property; real estate; off-book property; objection of a third
               party.
