Frequently Asked Questions
Can a tenant or a caretaker regularize the land?+
No. Someone occupying as a tenant, borrower or caretaker is a mere holder: they acknowledge that ownership belongs to another, so the law does not allow them to register the property in their own name, however many years they have been there. This is one of the most frequent grounds for rejection, and it is worth clearing up before spending on surveys.
Can indigenous land or State-owned land be regularized this way?+
Not through this route. Indigenous land is governed by Law 19,253 and has its own protection and transfer regime, while State-owned property follows specific procedures before the Ministry of National Assets. In both cases Decree Law 2,695 is not the applicable path.
What exactly is Decree Law 2695?+
It consists of an exceptional legal body issued in Chile that empowers the Ministry of National Assets to officially recognize and grant the title deed to those who demonstrate the material and peaceful possession of a real estate property for a minimum of five consecutive years.
How long can the entire regularization process take?+
An ordinary administrative file managed before the ministerial offices can extend between one and two years, depending primarily on the technical rigor of the accompanying plans and the possible opposition that adjoining owners or interested third parties may present.
Are there appraisal limits to avail oneself of this regularization regulation?+
Yes. The benefit is reserved for small rural and urban property: the fiscal appraisal must be equal to or below 1,000 UTM. Since the reform published in April 2025 that cap is the same for urban and rural land, replacing the previous 380 UTM urban and 800 UTM rural limits, which widened considerably the range of properties that can be regularized.
