Adjacent owners: notification to a single co-owner is valid for descriptive rectifications

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has dismissed an appeal seeking to annul a georeferenced graphic representation entry due to a lack of notification to all owners (Art. 199 of the Mortgage Law). It has been established that descriptive rectification is an administrative act that does not alter civil ownership; therefore, notifying a single member of a community (whether ordinary, joint, or hereditary) is valid for the procedure (Art. 199 of the Mortgage Law).

In 2 key points

  1. Notification to a single member of a community is valid for the procedure under Art. 199 of the Mortgage Law (punto 3)
  2. To rectify an existing entry, the consent of all interested parties or a judicial ruling is required (punto 5)

How it affects those involved

For co-owners of adjacent estates, the lack of individual notification does not invalidate the descriptive rectification procedure if one member of the community has been notified (Art. 199 of the Mortgage Law). Parties wishing to challenge an entry that has already been recorded cannot do so through a classification appeal; instead, they require the consent of all affected parties or a judicial ruling (point 5 of the resolution).
