In an interview with government spokesperson Roberto Moreno, the presidency’s legal advisor said the new bill creating the National Unified Registry (RUN) has two key pillars: strengthening legal security and continuing the state’s modernisation. The Minister of the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ), Alberto Martínez Simón, was also addressed.
“It was decided that the Judiciary would be in charge of the Registry and responsible for carrying out the processes. In addition, joint work began between the Executive and Judiciary branches, achieving what had never been seen before in a project: that the initiative be signed by two branches of the State,” said Moreno, recalling that one of the problems of the registry is the existence of three bureaucratic departments for the users: one in the Judiciary, through the Public Registry; another under the Ministry of Public Works, with the Directorate of Geodesy; and another under the Ministry of Economy, with the Directorate of Cadastre.
The Projects Progress
For his part, the CSJ minister said that, in principle, the Senate would conclude its review of the regulations in the remainder of September to advance the legislative process. “ The regulation will not be effective until a year later, and during that time, we will carry out a great deal of work to unify the process.
What prompted this project is the problem with some properties’ legal entities, said Martínez Simón.
The National Unified Registry (RUN) will allow us to know the number of properties with overlapping land titles. “ The project is obvious in leaving the resolution of these conflicts in the hands of the Judicial Branch, as constitutionally required. The proposal has more than 200 articles and is now under consideration by the Legislative Branch,” stressed the magistrate.
The Executive and Judicial Branches presented the bill for the creation of the Unified National Registry (RUN), which will allow for the unification of the process for titling lands. According to Alberto Martínez Simón, minister of the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ), this institution will reveal all overlapping land cases.
“I think that the main advantage will be that it will highlight the problem of overlapping. This law will not magically solve all existing overlaps. Still, it will help to avoid new overlaps because a technical study will already show whether there is overlap when a property is to be acquired,” said the minister.
Likewise, through this institution, the parties, that is, those who appear as owners of the same property, can be notified to file the corresponding legal actions and begin annulling the necessary titles or titles.
However, he clarified that this procedure takes three or four years and is resolved in the judicial sphere.
“From now on, we will aim not to have new cases but to clean up the registry as these actions proposed by the interested parties are processed.
We don’t even know how many thousands of km of land we have in Paraguay because there is no unified data; finding a single culprit in the timeline is impossible,” he said on 1080 AM.
The initiative proposes merging the General Directorate of Public Registries (DGRP), the National Cadastre Service (SNC), and the Department of Surveying and Geodesy.
This will allow property titling to be carried out by a single institution and reduce the time it takes to issue documents.
