Cuban
government announces a new registry of deeds
HAVANA, September 18 (www.cubanet.org) - The
government called for all home owners to start
registering their homes in a new registry of deeds,
according to an announcement in the official dailies.
The original registry was abandoned after the
government declared all property nationalized
in the 60s. Now, evidently, officials are establishing
a new one.
Authorities warned homeowners not to all try
to register at once, saying the work will take
time.
Until the revolution in 1959, there were 82 registries
across the island. Now, 137 have been established,
the government said, and the plan calls for having
one office per municipality by 2006.
