1. Despite popular belief, Untitled Property in Panama is not a type of squatter’s rights in Panama. In fact, unlike other Central American Countries, squatters do not enjoy rights to Panama land that they occupy. Untitled Property, also referred to as “Right of Possession” (ROP) and Derecho Posesorio in Spanish, is something different.
Untitled property in Panama is property that is owned by the Panamanian Government. At some point the government of Panama gave certain Panamanians the right to occupy the land. The true owner of the land is the Panamanian Government, not the owner of the “Rights of Possession.” However, the Rights of Possession owner does have the option to buy the land from the Panamanian Government.
2. The owner of the Rights of Possession (ROP) does own any improvements that have been made to the land while they occupied it. These improvements to the Panama real estate may include landscaping, fences, well, and structures such as a house.
3. The legislation that regulates and controls Untitled Property or Derecho Posesorio Property in Panama is quite ambiguous and potential buyers often find themselves victims to individuals’ interpretation. It is extremely important to work with a qualified lawyer who specializes in Panama real estate and do your homework before entering a contract to purchase Untitled Property in Panama. Have a lawyer check to ensure the Panama property is free of any liens.
4. All land that falls between 22 meters and 300 meters from the point of the highest tide constitutes the zone of the Rights of Possession when discussing Panama Real Estate.
5. There are different Categories of “Rights of Possession” Properties for Panama Real Estate. These include:
• Rights of Possession Panama property under the jurisdiction of the Office of Cataster
• Rights of Possession Panama property under the jurisdiction of the Office of Agricultural Reform
• Rights of Possession Panama property under the jurisdiction of the Municipality
6. Depending on which category of Rights of Possession Property in Panama you are considering purchasing, will determine who can own the property. In Panama real estate certain categories of Rights of Possession can be owned by both Panamanians and foreigners in their personal name. However, in some instances only Panamanians or a Panamanian legal entity such as a Panama Company, can legally own the property.
7. Request a survey map of the untitled property in Panama that has been prepared and issued by a licensed surveyor prior to entering any contract to purchase Rights of Possession property in Panama. Surveyors are usually Engineers or Topographers that have a professional seal authorizing them to legally survey the Panama property.
8. Talk to the owners of the neighboring land of the particular ROP property in Panama you are considering. Don’t be afraid to ask if there have been any problems with the Derecho Posesorio Property you are considering purchasing. In most cases they will tell you.
9. Check the current Rights of Possession bearer’s status with the local Panama government office. Panamanian municipalities and government bureaus are meticulous for documenting and archiving information. Ensure the current owners name appears in the government’s office archives that corresponds to the particular Panama real estate.
10. Have the local corresponding Panama government office (this will vary according to the category of Rights of Possession property) arrange to visit the property in Panama and verify the survey.
Generally speaking, Due Diligence is a must when negotiating and purchasing property in Panama. We recommend that you retain the services of a qualified attorney or legal professional to guide you through the process of purchasing Derecho Posesorio Property in Panama and for all Panama Real Estate transactions.
