About this statute

This provision identifies Law 979 of 2005 and says it modifies Law 54 of 1990 and creates mechanisms to prove a de facto marital union and its property effects between permanent partners. This article presumes a patrimonial partnership between permanent companions in certain cases and allows it to be declared judicially or by notarial/conciliation act. The existence of a de facto marital union may be declared by public deed, conciliation act, or judicial decision. The patrimonial society between permanent partners is dissolved by the listed events: mutual consent before a notary, common agreement through a conciliation act, a judicial judgment, or the death of one or both partners. Los compañeros permanentes o sus herederos pueden pedir la declaración, disolución y liquidación de la sociedad patrimonial y la adjudicación de los bienes.
