It was adopted with the objective of addressing recurrent property disputes, reducing forgery and conflicting sales, and increasing transparency in the real estate market. By mandating the execution of official deeds for all contracts concerning the ownership or usufruct of immovable property, this law has significantly diminished the evidentiary value of informal documents such as private contracts and preliminary sale agreements in establishing ownership.

These effects have resulted in changes to judicial jurisdiction, registration procedures, and protective policies. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this article examines various aspects of the law, analyzing its legal, social, and practical implications in comparison with previous statutes, and elucidating the challenges and requirements of its implementation. Finally, it proposes solutions for the fair and effective enforcement of this law, ensuring the protection of citizens' rights and the realization of registration justice.</p> https://www.jlsda.com/index.php/lsda/article/download/123/217
