Is it possible to ask questions in Notes?
The concept of raising a doubt isn't very well known among the general public, but it's incredibly important in law! Learn more now!
Did the registry office reject your registration? There is a process called "doubt."
When the registrar determines that a title contains an error, a defect, or is incomplete, he or she issues a demand. If you believe the demand has no legal basis, there is a procedure for bringing the matter before the courts—called a “challenge.”
How It Works
The registry office official himself refers the matter to the Public Records Court. You, as the applicant, present your interpretation; the registry office explains the grounds for the refusal. The judge decides.
What's New in Rio de Janeiro
Previously, this procedure applied only to the Real Estate Registry. The new Code of Rules of the TJRJ has also extended it to Notary Offices—so questions regarding the drafting of deeds can also be referred to a judge.
What Happens During the Trial
- Claim upheld: the registry office is required to register it
- Claim dismissed: the notary’s requirement stands
Your registration was denied, and you think it shouldn't have been?
