FAQ
What happens if I leave flawed NGO minutes standing?
Their decisions keep taking effect: an irregular appointment or a badly done amendment becomes the organization's official version.
Can an NGO's meeting minutes be annulled?
Yes, when they're flawed; we draft and record the annulment.
How much does it cost?
The professional fee, from $45, covers drafting the annulment and recording it with SAREN; the registry's official fee is separate.
Do I need a court ruling to annul the minutes?
It depends on the case. Sometimes a new, properly called meeting that voids the earlier one is enough; if there's a dispute, a court declares the annulment. We review it with you.
What does the timing depend on?
On the workload of the Registro Principal (Main Registry of each state); the estimate is 4 to 8 business days.
About this procedure
Annulling meeting minutes means voiding a meeting or a decision made in breach of the bylaws or the law: irregular notices of meeting, lack of quorum, decisions made by someone without the authority to make them, or substantive defects. For that annulment to take effect against everyone, it must be recorded with SAREN, so the organization's file shows clearly which decision is no longer valid. That step protects the NGO and its members against improper acts and keeps third parties from relying on a flawed decision. We review the case, prepare or review the document or court ruling declaring the annulment, and handle its recording at the Registry. We stay with you until it's recorded. If the dispute hasn't been settled yet and the meeting needs to be challenged, a lawyer advises you on the right course of action.
Legal framework and important notes
Ley de Registros y Notarías (Registries and Notaries Law) · Código Civil (Civil Code)
- The new Ley de Fiscalización de ONG (NGO oversight law), from November 2024, turned registration into a recurring task — bylaws, meetings, appointments, inventories and donations.
- Keeping everything up to date avoids objections and penalties.
- SAREN is the competent authority.
We guarantee our service, not what the agency decides. If something depends on them, we tell you clearly and in time.
