Deslindes will be mandatory beginning April 2009

For my part, bought a house 2 years ago without deslinde, then I received the title in my name (one year later) (always without deslinde), and after that I did the deslinde

There was a change in the prohibition and at this time it is allowed for just one time and only for the whole property, meaning that if you have an old "carta constancia" you can convey it whole (not a piece of it) to the buyer without a deslinde. Of course, the buyer would be assuming the risk that the property is not where he thinks it is within the parcel of land. Also, the buyer will not be able to sell it in the future without a deslinde.

Condo units in condominiums built on properties without a deslinde before the 2005 Land Registry law can also be conveyed without any problem.

Sr. Guzman, we have a parcel with an 'acta de venta' only, from 35+ years ago. Can we sell that without a deslinde?

If you only have an "acta de venta", this means your purchase has not been recorded at the Title Registry. You should record your purchase first, for which you'll need the "certificado de t?tulo" from the person you bought it from.

I think it has been registered somehow, because we did pay the taxes on the purchase. The person we bought it from died a long time ago.

This sounds like trouble.

Indeed. You should have an attorney look at your documents.
