Modifications to property law in the Agrarian Reform Legislation

Abstract

This paper addresses the changes in property rights over real estate associated with the agrarian reform. The author analyzes the mechanisms of acquisition, conservation and loss of property: direct conveyance, acquisitive prescription, abandonment and antisocial use. It also analyzes the measures contemplated in the legislation to avoid property fraud, as well as the interpretation of the right to possession, use, enjoyment, claim and disposition in accordance with the agrarian reform regulations, which differentiates it from the classic regulation of the Civil Code. In this way, the author emphasizes that the agrarian reform legislation privileges the social interest over the individual interest and links the right to property to the direct work of the land.
