The proliferation of financial and economic crimes in the field of real estate, including forgery of documents, fraud, and collusion to unlawfully acquire property, has in recent years emerged as one of the critical challenges confronting the country’s legal system. The lack of transparency in property transfer procedures, the widespread prevalence of informal transactions, and weaknesses in supervisory mechanisms have created fertile ground for the commission of such crimes, thereby underscoring the necessity of examining preventive legal mechanisms.

The present study is conducted with the aim of elucidating the role of official registration of immovable property transactions in preventing economic crimes, as well as identifying the existing legal and institutional gaps. The research employs a descriptive–analytical method based on library resources, and the data have been collected through the examination of statutory provisions, judicial precedents, and jurisprudential and criminological perspectives.

Findings of the study demonstrate that the official registration of deeds, in addition to consolidating ownership and strengthening their evidentiary value, plays a decisive role in limiting the grounds for organized economic crimes by reducing property disputes and fostering transparency in transactions. Nevertheless, certain deficiencies—such as the absence of inherent invalidity of informal contracts, the admissibility of unofficial documents in judicial proceedings, the lack of integrated registration systems, and weaknesses in systemic oversight—continue to obstruct the full realization of the preventive capacity of this institution.

According to the results, legislative reforms, the expansion of electronic registration, the promotion of public legal awareness, and the reinforcement of intelligent monitoring mechanisms are essential measures that can contribute significantly to the reduction of economic crimes and the enhancement of public trust in the legal system.
