In some, a national authority is responsible for the management of all classified sites, while in others regional entities are in charge. </p><p>According to <a href="/wiki/Civil_law_(common_law)" title="Civil law (common law)">civil law</a> expert Estefanía Hernández Torres, whose <a href="/wiki/Thesis" title="Thesis">doctoral thesis</a> deals with historical heritage and property registration, "the protection of historical heritage is one of the main concerns of civilized societies. The assets that make up the cultural legacy are deserving of protection as they constitute a way of accessing culture".  However, according to Hernández, protection can be complicated, especially in the case of property purchase or transfer since its protected status is sometimes unknown to its new owners.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The registries prepared by the different governments and international organizations (such as <a href="/wiki/UNESCO" title="UNESCO">UNESCO</a> or the <a href="/wiki/European_Union" title="European Union">European Union</a>) are usually developed within the framework of very detailed legislation, which contemplates the relations between public authorities, conservation entities (institutional or private), the owners of the properties (in the cases of private property) and citizen collaboration. Beyond the historical and factual data, there are also observations on the historical, cultural or artistic significance of the site, in addition to the cost for its use and preservation. </p><p>Many historical sites can still be used by their owners (ex: homes, hotels, museums), even with the conditions from the site's overseeing body. Many times, these conditions are part of the purchase or rental contract, and their fulfillment is essential to be able to keep the property. One such condition may be periodic control visits by the corresponding conservation entity. In other cases, when it comes to private property in the possession of an individual prior to its classification, the conservation and rehabilitation tasks, or at least their financing, fall to public authorities and conservation entities.
