The article examines the problems and prospects of the development of the institution of ownership in Russian law, considering foreign experience. The current civil, land, and housing legislation is analyzed, as well as judicial practice on the protection of ownership and the statute of limitations. It is proved that the lack of a legal definition of ownership in Russian legislation and a clear system of its types creates doctrinal and law enforcement difficulties. Based on a comparison with the German and Dutch models, directions for improving Russian legislation are proposed, including the normative consolidation of the general concept of ownership and clarifying the rules on joining the limitation periods of ownership. The conclusion is made about the need for a systematic registration of ownership as an independent institution of private law.
