Defective titles, double registrations and seller claims
- Land and property for foreigners
- Who may hold land, and on what title
- not audited
The State Department's 2024 Investment Climate Statement warns that defects in titles and gaps in ownership in the public registry can lead to conflicting property claims, especially in rural areas, and that enforcing eviction orders is difficult where ownership is in dispute; the mitigation is to review the chain of title 10–20 years back. A commercial guide adds that if a seller asserts that the Art. 122/123 restrictions do not apply, independent legal verification must be obtained, since this is the main source of problems for foreign buyers; the dossier recommends a written legal opinion before the promise to sell. The 2024 and 2025 editions of the ICS returned 403 in the audit and the citation is left without a literal check.
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
