00:00A kind follower of this Legal Tip section of El Espectador tells us that after an extremely complicated process
00:10and even painful
00:11because she was confronted by people she loved very much, such as her siblings, and after multiple setbacks
00:20He finally managed to complete his father's succession.
00:24I repeat, she tells us that it was a long, agonizing process, full of problems.
00:32The probative judgment for the partition was issued, it became final, and now, our consultant adds, it turns out that something has appeared
00:40an asset that she and the other heirs did not know existed.
00:52Given this situation and the fear that everything that has already been done will somehow be seen
01:00in their words, collapsed,
01:02She wants to know what needs to be done to resolve this impasse.
01:07An impasse that doesn't seem so impasse because in the long run it is the emergence of a new good, but she
01:13He is afraid that what has been done will be lost.
01:15In that regard, let's tell him then that he doesn't need to worry too much.
01:20Why?
01:22Because to the extent that a sentence has already been issued, which is the one that approves the division of the process that
01:28It has already been announced,
01:30Well, everything that was done at that time is now final.
01:34Therefore, the only thing left to do now is to distribute that good, the one they found that they didn't have before.
01:43They knew.
01:44This is done through a procedure called the additional partition, which is fundamentally regulated by
01:52Article 518 of the General Code of Procedure.
01:56In other words, what is happening at this moment is that, to put it illustratively, a
02:02small process in which only that good will be distributed.
02:08In other words, the property would be inventoried, an appraisal would be assigned, then a partition would be made and a ruling would be issued
02:18new ruling,
02:19but only with respect to that new partition.
02:22In conclusion, to our kind follower, don't be so alarmed; what has already been done will not be undone.
02:31Simply put, what will be distributed is the new asset.
02:34In this regard, and finally to conclude, it is worth noting that the same principle applies equally in a liquidation
02:43of a marital partnership
02:45A property is also omitted or appears after the judgment approving the partition has been issued.
02:52Similarly, and by analogy, we could say that when the inheritance is processed through a notary's office,
02:59Likewise, the procedure to be followed when an asset appears is that of an additional partition,
03:06Obviously, hopefully also through public deed.
03:10We hope we have shed some light on this topic for our follower, whom we wish to reassure.
03:17because we really noticed she was very distressed when she asked us the question.
03:23As always, we thank those who regularly follow this legal tips section for viewers.
