139 of July 14, 1941, is amended, as follows:
- 3)The length of time of possession, the full name, qualifications, domicile of the person or persons from whom the right was acquired, and the cause and date of its acquisition.
When the title applicant has not had the ten-year possession of the property and wishes to take advantage of the possession of their predecessor in the manner provided for in Article 863 of the Civil Code, a public document must be presented proving the transfer of their right; if this right was acquired by inheritance, the respective inheritance adjudication document (hijuela) proving its award must be presented. However, when the title applicant demonstrates by means of a prior perpetual memory information (información ad-perpétuam) that it is impossible to obtain the public document evidencing the acquisition, the transfer may be approved by means of all kinds of evidence." 6) In cases where the Possessory Information Law requires engineer plans, both plans and surveys made by civil engineers or agronomists, as well as those made by students of the faculties of Engineering and Agronomy, as determined by the University of Costa Rica based on the instruction and training in topography they have received, shall be valid and shall be registered by the Cadastre Office.
Nor is the signature or authorization of an engineer required on plans drawn up by practitioners (prácticos) in accordance with the authorization granted to them by this subsection, and the cadastre office shall register them with the signature of said practitioners. All plans must be made and submitted in accordance with the regulations of the Cadastre Office."
