TweetCorrectable defects in the public instrument

Defects produced in the public instrument that do not lead to a radical or partial nullity, but rather allow a correction of the legal facts.


It is a remedy for the rectification of the error, omission caused or defect of form, which avoids the granting of defective deeds.   The rectification case can be presented after the signature and authorization of the parties, since if the error occurs prior to these facts in the draft instrument, it would be a mere rectification.  The authorizing notary himself, his substitute or successor in the Notary's Office, will have active legitimacy to request the correction of the flawed instrument. The party that originated or suffered the defect, omission or error will also have legitimacy.
