📋 Tender Overview
If the owners desire is to distribute the floors of his property among his children, what he must do is make these levels independent as independent properties.The independence of real estate in Peru has been consolidated as a strategic tool to guarantee the legal security of those family assets that are intended to be awarded. The physical division of a property allows the owner to transfer independent areas to his heirs in an orderly manner, thus avoiding future confrontations.
This technical-legal process is the essential prior step so that each independent area, or also called real estate unit, has its own autonomy before Sunarp, allowing much more flexible, efficient and conflict-free asset management.
The process of independence of real estate units is carried out by submitting your application for registration of independence with internal regulations before Sunarp, attaching the requirements regulated in the TUO of the regulations of Law No. 27157 and the Registration Regulations of the Property Registry.
Benefits of independence
Facilitates the transfer acts that are desired to be carried out on each independent real estate unit.
With the registration of the independence of real estate units, an exclusive registry entry is generated for each of them, which allows the owner to award them to his heirs through the act of advance of legitimate property. Subsequently, the children, in their capacity as registered owners, may register transfers for sale, leases, mortgages, etc., in the registry entries where they hold ownership.
