§ 290. Exemption from fees—Proceedings to perfect titles to property under Title V of Land Law

In all these cases where the Land Authority of Puerto Rico needs to acquire rural properties or participation or rights therein, or to sell, cede, donate, exchange, or otherwise dispose of lands belonging to it or any participation or right therein, in the carrying out of the agrarian policy established by Title V of the Land Law of Puerto Rico, if, for the purpose of perfecting the titles to be transferred to it, it should be necessary or indispensable to legalize records of any kind, the prosecution of such judicial proceedings are hereby exempted from the payment of schedule fees required by the laws in force. Such exemption shall be effective only as regards the proceedings filed in connection with the parcels to be transferred in accordance with this section; but when the judicial proceeding, by the nature thereof, does not specifically refer to any real right, the decision of the court shall be effective solely for the purposes of perfecting the title and the registration of the parcels so transferred to the Land Authority of Puerto Rico.

The clerks of the courts shall, when issuing certified copies of the decisions in these cases, state that the same have been prosecuted fee-free and solely for the purposes of the agrarian policy of Puerto Rico.
