Conversion of Right of Possession to Property Title in Panama
Overview
In Panama, the Law of Possession Rights allows people to have possession of land owned by the State in order to make improvements to it. Over time, legal changes have enabled holders of these rights to formalize ownership through the Conversion of Right of Possession, allowing them to obtain registered property deeds in the Public Registry of Panama.
