SUPERFICIES REGISTRALES DE TITULARIDAD INDETERMINADA.

Abstract

This paper attempts to describe the real situations that arise in registration practice when there is a problem of indeterminate areas pending registration. Such areas are sometimes mentioned in acts of disposal, when a person wishes to dispose of part of an as-yet-unregistered property without first having the property legally divided. In that case, both parts of the property are subsumed in the same folio at the property registry office, the folio that registers the entire property. In addition, there remains only a single owner. Furthermore, if there are any acts pending registration at the time, they may or may not be identified. This sort of situation often arises in expropriations; under the old scheme, in which registration protection was not needed for expropriations, expropriations were systematically left unregistered, yet now, under the new reality of land planning, expropriations need to be protected by registration. This paper takes a careful look at some of the positions arrived at in registration practice that have had a legal effect on the status of property.
