Deslindes will be mandatory beginning April 2009

[newuser]

Is a deslinde a survey (in English)?

Does anyone know if a deslinde is a stand alone document and is it done on a standard form or can it be incorporated in to a registered title?

If it were in the title how would you tell if it were there?

If you have read the thread, you missed the first post from Fabio J. Guzman. Read it

It appears that a deslinde is what we call in the US a subdivision of land with each subdivided parcel having separate title.

Has anyone gotten any legal counsel on whether this new requirement will apply to condo's?? I should think that it would apply in which case the condo sales market of non-deslinde condo's is going to come to an abrupt halt in April!

Without "deslinde" you cannot establish your condo rules or "regimen de condominios" which are necessary to obtain seperate titles for each condo.

I think it is better to purchase a condo in the name of a company because you can always sell the company even if the title is not ready yet.

The deslinde requirement will not apply to the sale of condos which were previously approved without a deslinde.

That is very good news for many condo projects.

hello Fabio,
i am sure not kidding.
but if condos are approved without deslinde means i ask myself why i had to do deslindes for my properties?
should i have just declared them as future condo projects ?
on some cheap papers sold to some family members by contract?
really, on such law i do not get the point where i can decide about the papers of a 3000 tareas finca whic is in my own and only name.
i want to have each of my boys and one gal(aside of one they are not my own blood) the right on their specific piece of that property just in case i go myself down the river tomorrow. should i really take the step on which i am actually thinking and devide it in several separate properties with separate titles in different names or is there in case of the condo exception a backdoor where we should better say that the whole property should be declared as a condominium and no separate deslindes/titles would be needed?, just some "condo" contracts which show who owes what piece.
thank you again and again for your great and valuable advice
Mike

We're talking about condo titles issued many years ago on "undeslinded" properties.

For years now, condos can only be built on "deslinded" properties.

I have a carta constancia for a property in Barahona and would like to get an actual title (maybe divide the property into several titles). Do I need to pay the title transfer taxes if the title(s) are still in my name? Does anyone know of a surveyor in Barahona with GPS?

[Fabio J. Guzman]

No transfer taxes need to paid. Just retain a lawyer and surveyor to do the deslinde.
