FAQ
Which Real Estate Registry certificate is required by the Notary Office to draft a public deed?
The notary office requires a full-text property registration certificate accompanied by an encumbrances and lawsuits certificate. In some registration services, this summary is issued under the name of an updated property legal status certificate.
What is included in an updated certificate of legal status compared to a full-text property registration certificate?
The full-text certificate reproduces the entire registration file history. The legal status certificate reports the current condition of the asset, certifying whether active attachments, mortgages, fiduciary transfers, or pending lawsuits exist.
What is the difference between a full-text certificate and a legal status certificate for transaction security?
The difference between a full-text certificate and a legal status certificate lies in their evidentiary scope. The full-text certificate shows historical ownership evolution, whereas the legal status certificate focuses on encumbrances present at the time of the transaction.
