About this statute

This law states that it amends the cited provisions of Law 258 of 1996 to provide integral protection to the family. A property is treated as a family home if it was bought in full by one or both spouses, before or after marriage, and is intended as the family’s residence. La afectación a vivienda familiar termina automáticamente cuando muere uno o ambos cónyuges, salvo que los herederos menores que viven en el inmueble pidan al juez mantenerla por justa causa. La ley entra en vigor desde su publicación.
