Rivera Del Valle v. Registrador De La Propiedad Sección De Humacao I

Summary

The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico affirmed the Registrador's denial to register a public deed of repudiation of inheritance, holding that a judicial resolution identifying the heirs is an indispensable condition for registration when a hereditary right is already recorded. The Court also ruled that the Registrador acted within its qualifying authority and that the recurso gubernativo was procedurally limited to the second error presented.
