Claimants facing property identity doubts: 30-day deadline to initiate procedure under Article 199 of the Mortgage Law

The Resolution of 27 October 2025 establishes that when a registrar rejects the registration of a georeferenced graphic representation due to identity doubts, the procedure provided for in Article 199 of the Mortgage Law must be initiated. This mechanism allows for the resolution of doubts regarding property identity, which previously lacked a formal procedure. The timeframe for action is 30 days from the notification of the rejection, as established in the text (Art. 199).

In 2 key points

  1. The procedure provided for in Article 199 of the Mortgage Law must be initiated when there are doubts regarding property identity (art. 199 Ley Hipotecaria)
  2. A 30-day deadline to act from the notification of the registrar's rejection (art. 199 Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

Claimants or owners affected by identity doubts in the cadastral graphic representation must act within 30 days to initiate the procedure provided for in Article 199 of the Mortgage Law. Registry administrations must ensure the notification of rejection and access to the necessary information. Real estate legal advisors must inform their clients of the obligation to initiate the procedure and the established deadline.
