La presente Ley, reconociendo que es función privativa del Estado el establecimiento, mantenimiento, desarrollo y actualización del catastro físico nacional, tiene por objeto establecer las normas que regulan el establecimiento, mantenimiento, desarrollo y actualización del catastro en el ámbito nacional, su estructura y el funcionamiento y coordinación de la misma.

The Law consists of 3 Sections composed of 14 articles dealing with the following matters: 1) general provisions (sect. 1, arts. 1-3); 2) establishment of the state registers (sect. 2, arts. 4-9); 3) keeping and utilization of the state registers (sect. 3, arts. 10-14). The present Law establishes the modalities of the establishment, keeping and liquidation of the State Registers. The purpose of the establishment of the State Register shall be collection and storage of reliable information of a given category of objects for the subsequent use thereof by the state institutions.

These Rules implement selected provisions of the Registered Land Act. They define the form of the register in the First Schedule and the form of a title deed and a certificate of lease in the Second Schedule. Any register, certificate of freehold title or instrument which complies with the form prescribed under the Land Consolidation Act shall be deemed to comply with these Rules. The Rules contain other provisions regarding forms, provide for the verification of instruments, prescribe fees for registration and limit powers of the Registrar to prepare a title or registration instrument.

These Rules prescribe that only twenty or any lesser number of persons may be registered as the proprietors of any land, lease or charge where charge to the land restricts its user to any purpose other than agriculture and in the opinion of the registrar, the instrument presented for registration will have the effect of vesting the land, lease or charge in such persons jointly as partnership property. The Rules shall only apply to specified registration sections.
