Claimants with doubts over property identity: 30 days to initiate procedure under Hypothecary Law article 199

The October 27, 2025 Resolution states that when a registrar rejects a georeferenced graphical representation due to doubts about property identity, the procedure outlined in Hypothecary Law article 199 must be initiated. This mechanism resolves identity uncertainties previously lacking a formal process. The 30-day period from notification of rejection is set out in the text (article 199).

In 2 key points

  1. A procedure set out in article 199 of the Mortgage Law must be initiated where there are doubts about the identity of the property (art. 199 Ley Hipotecaria)
  2. 30-day period to act from notification of rejection by the registry (art. 199 Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

Claimants or property owners affected by doubts regarding the graphical representation in the land registry must take action within 30 days to initiate the procedure set out in article 199 of the Mortgage Law. Land registry authorities must ensure notification of any rejection and provide access to necessary information. Real estate legal advisors must inform their clients of the obligation to initiate the procedure and the prescribed time limit.
