This Law makes provisions for the financial compensation, or compensation in kind, to persons who had been owners of agricultural lands, pastures, meadows, forests and forest lands, according to definitions in article 1 of this Law and to the persons that are recognized as their legal heirs. The right to compensation in value or in kind with agricultural lands, pastures, meadows, forests and forest land is recognized to ex-owners or their heirs, whose property is registered, or in their absence, when ownership is certified by a decision of the court of the proper district (art. 4). The Law provides for resolution of disputes, valuation of land, procedures of compensation, etc.
