Legal Security:

Human beings, due to their social nature, need to know the laws that govern their conduct in society. In this way he will regulate his conduct according to the law in force, being able to foresee the consequences of his acts. For his development in society he needs security over his life and property. Hence, security is a supreme value of the law and constitutes its immediate purpose. Without predictability of rules and laws it would be impossible to make contracts, nor would it be possible to know what to expect from the actions of others, nor from the public authorities. Uncertainty would reign and life in society would not be possible. Within the specialized framework of legal certainty, the land registry and the Latin-style notary's office are institutions of preventive legal certainty that prevent or reduce litigation. In turn, important registry principles have a direct impact on the achievement of preventive legal certainty of a given registry system.
