The purpose of the Property Registry is the registration of transactions and contracts relating to real property through a public record system of titles containing the acquisitions, modifications and extinctions of domain and other real rights on said property, and the recordable rights on same, and those judicial opinions which may affect the legal capacity of the owners of record. All sections of the Property Registry shall remain within the territorial demarcations where they are presently established. The titles of real properties located within the territorial demarcation of each section shall be registered in that section. If a real property is located within the demarcation of two or more sections or demarcations, the first registry shall be made in all of the sections, describing the total area of the property and the part thereof corresponding to each section or demarcation, continuing its registration record in the section in which the largest area is located. In the event that the area in each demarcation is the same, the registration record shall be continued in the section requested by the titleholder. This fact shall be annotated in each of the sections in which the real property is registered. The entries in the Register, inasmuch as they refer to recorded rights, are safeguarded by the Courts of Justice and have all corresponding legal effects as long as said Courts make no statement to the contrary.

Registrars shall hold office for the duration of their terms of appointment and until their successors take office. If a Registrar becomes permanently disabled to discharge the duties of his office due to health reasons, he may be retired from service following the procedure established by the laws and regulations in effect. The office of Registrar is absolutely incompatible with the exercise of the legal and notary profession. The performance of educational and academic duties is excluded/exempt from this prohibition. Likewise, the Secretary may grant a dispensation to a Property Registrar to simultaneously hold another office or position in any of the agencies, departments, or public corporations of the Commonwealth, when both offices and positions are not incompatible, or when there is no possibility of conflict of interest. In such case, the Property Registrar shall not receive financial compensation for both offices; therefore, he shall resign to the wages corresponding to one of the offices in question. The designation of a Property Registrar to another office or position to be held simultaneously shall not affect nor interrupt the term of appointment corresponding to the office of Property Registrar. Furthermore, the Secretary may grant a dispensation to a Property Registrar to hold another office or position in any of the agencies, departments, or public corporations of the Commonwealth, when both offices or positions are not incompatible, or when there is no possibility of conflict of interest. In such case, the Property Registrar shall be released from his duties, but shall retain, for all legal purposes, his position, condition, and rights as Property Registrar while discharging the duties of the office or position for which he has been granted a dispensation. The Property Registrar in question shall earn the wages corresponding to the office or position to which he has been appointed until he ceases his duties, in which case, he shall continue to earn the wages of Property Registrar. The reinstallation or reinstatement of this official shall not be considered for purposes of the maximum number of Property Registrars that may be appointed by law. On the other hand, the designation of said Property Registrar to another office or position shall not affect or interrupt his term of appointment as Property Registrar.

2023 Laws of Puerto Rico › TITLE THIRTY - Mortgage Law and Regulations (§§ 1-5 — 5005) › Subtitle 4 - Mortgage and Property Registry Act of 1979; General Provisions (§§ 2001 — 2821) › Chapter 111 - Form and Effect of Registration (§§ 2251 — 2361) › Subchapter I - Registration Procedure (§§ 2251 — 2282) › § 2263 - Recording of documents—Property recorded in name of predecessor in title
Property recorded in the name of the predecessor in title does not need to be recorded in the name of agents, representatives, liquidators, executors and other persons who are temporarily acting as mediators authorized by law. Nor is there a need to record property in the names of the heirs when ratifying private contracts made by their predecessors in title, provided they are in writing and signed by the latter, which shall be recorded along with the ratification document. In any case, the nature of the heirs must be verified. Prevailing records of hereditary rights in the name of one or all of the person’s heirs shall not impede registration in the name of those who may have acquired ownership of real property or rights directly from the predecessor in title by virtue of an authentic title granted by him, or his legitimate agents or representatives. History —Mortgage Law, 1979, § 60.

2023 Laws of Puerto Rico › TITLE THIRTY - Mortgage Law and Regulations (§§ 1-5 — 5005) › Subtitle 4 - Mortgage and Property Registry Act of 1979; General Provisions (§§ 2001 — 2821) › Chapter 111 - Form and Effect of Registration (§§ 2251 — 2361) › Subchapter I - Registration Procedure (§§ 2251 — 2282) › § 2267 - Judgment on documents
Registrars shall have the responsibility of passing judgment on the legality of all kinds of documents by virtue of which an entry is requested. Said judgment shall include the extrinsic forms of the documents presented, the competence of the grantors and the validity of the transactions and contracts contained in these documents. Registrars shall base their judgments on the transactions and contracts to be recorded, on the documents presented, the existing registry entries and the statutes. When judging documents subject to registration, Registrars are not empowered to evaluate the legality of the judgments or entries made by themselves or by their predecessors. These entries, as well as the transactions recorded, must be deemed valid until the courts declare them null and void. With respect to documents issued by Judicial Authority, said judgment shall be limited to: (1) The jurisdiction and competence of the court; the nature and effects of the decision handed down if it was rendered in the corresponding trial; and if the procedures and precepts essential to its validity were observed; (2) the extrinsic reliability of the documents presented, and (3) the Registry data. Where administrative documents are concerned, the judgment shall refer, insofar as it is pertinent, to the particulars set forth in the preceding paragraph. In all cases, the Registrar may demand that complementary documents needed for a proper judgment be furnished, whether they be notarial, judicial or administrative. History —Mortgage Law, 1979, § 64.

The Registrar shall have autonomy in his judging powers and there shall be only one lawful recourse against his judgment, which is outlined in the following sections, so that the courts or other authorities cannot, in any way, oblige or prevent a Registrar from performing any function pertaining to the registration process. Interested parties may argue, among themselves and in a plenary suit, anything concerning the validity of the documents subject to recording and obtain the corresponding cautionary notice to protect the suit being presented in accordance with the first paragraph of § 2401 of this title.
