P.R. Laws tit. 30, § 2263
Property recorded in the name of the predecessor in title does not need to be recorded in the name of agents, representatives, liquidators, executors and other persons who are temporarily acting as mediators authorized by law.
Nor is there a need to record property in the names of the heirs when ratifying private contracts made by their predecessors in title, provided they are in writing and signed by the latter, which shall be recorded along with the ratification document. In any case, the nature of the heirs must be verified.
Prevailing records of hereditary rights in the name of one or all of the person’s heirs shall not impede registration in the name of those who may have acquired ownership of real property or rights directly from the predecessor in title by virtue of an authentic title granted by him, or his legitimate agents or representatives.
