Estado de Conservación

Non-PRO Spanish to English Law/Patents Real Estate Estado de Conservación
"Como consecuencia queda rectificado el Estado de Conservación."

This seems to refer to a legal document related to real estate. All my searches returned answers about animal conservation. Any ideas? The country is Guatemala.

Thanks!

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Billh, AllegroTrans, Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Hi Sherra - obviously the context changes the sense of the phrase. One or two additional sentences AFTER the target phrase would help in understanding the specific application, but, even so, the sense is to "rectify the present condition" of the legal document. The "Estado de Conservación" could apply to the description of the "legal condition of the land in the inscription".
philgoddard Apr 27, 2014:
That supports my suggestion that it's some kind of document or status, as in "Se rectifica la inscripción número 3." I think "rectificar" means to change an entry, perhaps in a register. Could it be conservation status, ie whether it's a listed property?
Sherra Wong (X) (asker) Apr 27, 2014:
Sorry guys. This is from an addendum to a previously filed real property deed, the relevant part of which goes as follows:

"Se rectifica la inscripción número 3 de derechos reales de esta finca en el sentido siguiente: Que se omitió consignar que la presente finca goza de una servidumbre de paso que soportan [list of documents, cut for brevity], como consta en la segunda inscripción de derechos reales de esta última finca. Como consecuencia queda rectificado el Estado de Conservación."

I posted this elsewhere, but if anyone has insight about the rest, I'd appreciate it very much as well. Thanks!

no context impossible to help
philgoddard Apr 26, 2014:
I have a feeling "estado" means "report" or "status", not "state", but you haven't given enough context. What does it say before this?

Condition

The "State of Conservation" is an obvious and good literal translation, which appears to refer to an asset of any type, including real estate, but the sense of the term refers to the "condition" of the asset

agree AllegroTrans : pragmatic answer and nothing to do with animals

State of Conservation

Same idea, but just with property. Below are some references from Unesco in Spanish and English.

state of repair

State of repair = condition

Therefore, the state of repair (of the real estate (US)/property (UK)) has hereby been modified.
