Although the Certificate of Title must be a document that is sufficient in itself and the person who acquires the property in view of that document, free of annotations and encumbrances, must be considered a third party purchaser in good faith, this always means that the Certificate of Title that is shown to you is legitimate and not the result of maneuvers to dispossess a co-owner of the part that corresponds to him in the property, which is not the case when the Certificate of Title was despite the claim of a co-heir of his inclusion in his father's succession, claim that had been registered in the Registry of Titles before the purchase of the land by the third party, SCJ, 3.a Cám., July 20, 2005.
