Ruling on the suspension of inheritance deed registration due to boundary and cadastral description defects

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal against a registrar's negative assessment, which suspended the registration of an inheritance deed. The registrar required the provision of succession titles and death and last will certificates (Arts. 14 LH, 76 and 78 RH), while also noting errors in the description of boundaries and property areas (Arts. 9, 201.3 LH and 51 RH). The notary specifically appealed the requirement for literal precision in boundary descriptions versus georeferencing.

In 2 key points

  1. Requirement to provide succession titles, death certificates, and last will certificates for registration (Arts. 14 LH, 76 and 78 RH). (arts. 14 LH, 76 y 78 RH)
  2. The description of boundaries and area must align with georeferenced graphic representation (Arts. 9 LH and 51 RH). (arts. 9 LH y 51 RH)

How it affects those involved

For heirs and property owners, this ruling emphasises that inheritance deed allocations must strictly comply with succession documentation (death and last will certificates) to be registered. Furthermore, it confirms that property descriptions must be consistent with cadastral mapping and georeferencing, as inaccuracies in boundaries or areas may lead to negative assessments by the registrar (Arts. 9 LH and 51 RH).
