1. A rectification that is not liable to prejudice the rights of the registered holders is made, even without their consent, in the following cases:

1 - A rectificação que não seja susceptível de prejudicar direitos dos titulares inscritos é efectuada, mesmo sem necessidade do seu consentimento, nos casos seguintes:

#

a) Whenever the inaccuracy results from a discrepancy with the title document, upon examination of the documents on which the registration was based;

a) Sempre que a inexactidão provenha da desconformidade com o título, analisados os documentos que serviram de base ao registo;

#

b) Whenever the inaccuracy results from a defect in the title documents and rectification is applied for by any interested party on the basis of a sufficient document.

b) Sempre que, provindo a inexactidão de deficiência dos títulos, a rectificação seja requerida por qualquer interessado com base em documento bastante.

#

2. Rectification of a registration that is inaccurate owing to a discrepancy with the title document shall be deemed not to prejudice the holder of the right registered in it.

2 - Deve entender-se que a rectificação de registo inexacto por desconformidade com o título não prejudica o titular do direito nele inscrito.

#

3. The rectification is presumed not to prejudice an estate if the administrator of the estate (cabeça-de-casal) so declares.

3 - Presume-se que da rectificação não resulta prejuízo para a herança se tal for declarado pelo respectivo cabeça-de-casal.

What we checked in this article

The condition that the rectification cannot prejudice registered holders, the two cases (discrepancy with the title; defective title with a sufficient document), the deemed absence of prejudice for discrepancy with the title and the presumption based on the estate administrator's declaration are retained.

Registering an act under Article 86?

We file registrations at the commercial registry for foreign-owned companies: incorporations, share transfers, manager changes, capital changes, branches, filing of accounts and closures. In English, fixed fees, with the registry fee shown separately.

Unofficial English translation prepared by BCA Portugal for reference. Only the Portuguese text published in the Diário da República has legal force. Editorial notes are ours and are not part of the statute.
