Motifs extraits
The wording of § 285 Abs. 2 EGZGB only sets a deadline for registration after maturity; it does not exclude earlier registration. The nature and purpose of the statutory mortgage, together with the analogous function of the contractual mortgage and the information function of land registration, support allowing security for future or uncertain claims.
