For that purpose, he must demonstrate possession for more than ten years with the conditions indicated by Article 856 of the Civil Code.
The document in which the justification of possession is promoted, in order to obtain the recording of a property in the Property Registry, as provided in the preceding paragraph, must contain:
- a)The name, surnames, personal details (calidades), and domicile of the applicant; b) The nature, location, area measurement, boundaries, names and surnames and domicile of the adjoining owners of the land in question, and the linear measurement of the frontage onto public streets or roads; c) Names and surnames and domicile of the co-owners, if any, and the real encumbrances burdening the property; d) The time the applicant has been in possession of the property, the description of the acts constituting that possession, and the approximate extent of the existing crops and forests, the constructions and other improvements made. If the farm is for livestock, the number of hectares of pasture (potrero), sites or grazing lands (repastos) must be stated, and a certification from the Central Livestock Brand Office must be provided indicating that the title applicant (titulante) has registered the branding iron or livestock brand (fierro o marca de ganado) in his name; e) The name, surnames, personal details (calidades), and domicile of the person from whom he acquired his right, if applicable, indicating whether he is related to that person, as well as the cause and date of acquisition; f) Express statement by the title applicant (titulante) that the farm has not been recorded in the Public Registry, that he lacks a recordable title of ownership, and that the application does not seek to evade the consequences of a probate proceeding; and (Sinalevi note: The preceding subparagraph had been reformed by Article 17 of Law No. 9205 of December 23, 2013, "Titulación en inmueble propiedad de la Junta de Administración Portuaria y de Desarrollo Económico de la Vertiente Atlántica," a reform that was annulled by Constitutional Chamber ruling No. 2375 of February 15, 2017, which is why the text of said subparagraph is re-established, prior to said reform.)
- g)The estimation of the property's value and place to receive notifications within the respective perimeter.
When the title applicant (titulante) has not had the ten-year possession of the property, he may take advantage of that exercised by his transferors, as provided in Article 863 of the Civil Code; but in this case, he must present a public document recording the transfer of his right, although not that of previous possessors.
In addition, the title applicant (titulante) must necessarily provide:
- a)His identity card, in accordance with the respective law; b) A plan recorded in the Catastro Office, determining the location and area measurement of the farm; c) Certification from the Property Registry, indicating whether the title applicant (titulante) has recorded other properties in his name by means of possessory informations (informaciones posesorias) and, if so, the detailed description of the respective properties, in order to determine if there is adjacency (colindancia), continuity, or unity between them, in such a way that this law could be circumvented or that a single person attempts to obtain title (titular) to an area larger than that indicated in Article 15 of this law; and d) In the case of a measurement correction of a recorded farm, pursuant to Article 14, certification from the Property Registry, stating the nature, measurement, boundaries, and liens or annotations of the property, name, surnames, and personal details (calidades) of the owner or owners, and notice of whether its measurement has been previously corrected, date of acquisition, and date of first recording.
(Thus reformed by Article 1 of Law No. 5813 of November 4, 1975).
