FAQ
What happens if I built my house and don't have any documents?
Your house has no legal backing: anyone can dispute that it's yours and you have no way to prove it. The título supletorio is the first document that puts a name on what you built.
Does the título supletorio give me full ownership?
It backs the improvements and preserves third-party rights; we explain it to you clearly.
How much does it cost?
The professional fee, from $150, covers the petition before the court, the witnesses and the later recording; the official fees are separate and, for improvements, they're low.
Does it work if the land belongs to someone else?
It covers what you built, not land that belongs to someone else.
Do I need witnesses?
Yes, you provide them; we tell you how many and what they need to know.
About this procedure
Thousands of families built their homes through their own effort, brick by brick, but never had a single paper backing that construction. The título supletorio is exactly the first document that gives legal backing to what you built: it's a petition filed before a court where, with witnesses and an appraisal, it's put on record that you built those improvements, and that title is then recorded at the Registro Inmobiliario (Real Estate Registry) so it takes effect against third parties. Now, this needs to be said plainly, and we say it: the título supletorio backs the improvements, meaning the building, not necessarily the land if the land belongs to someone else; and the law preserves third-party rights, so it isn't a hundred percent bulletproof ownership, but it is the essential step and the document that finally lets most people prove, sell, pass on or improve their home. We prepare the petition, gather the witnesses and the appraisal, take it through the court and then record the title at the registry. At last, we get papers for the house that's already yours in practice.
