Resolution by the Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith on the suspension of land registry entry due to breach of chain of title

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal against a land registrar's decision to suspend the registration of a property. The suspension was caused by the absence of a valid title to register an undivided quarter of the property, as this portion is registered under a different person's name, thereby violating the mortgage principle of the chain of title.

How it affects those involved

For heirs or beneficiaries of the property, the resolution confirms that it is impossible to register the full ownership due to the break in the chain of registered title. The affected party must rectify the ownership of the undivided quarter through a title that respects the principle of the chain of title in order to complete the registration of the inheritance.
