The legal technical development and the constant demand in function of speeding up the conclusion of the agrarian procedures, diminishing to the maximum the complaints of the population and unifying each and every one of the files that take root in the national territory, besides the time elapsed in the application of the different legal norms, forces us to establish the practical methodology in the conformation and conclusion of the agrarian processes that begin in each territory.

In this way, the Provincial Delegate or Director, does not have to issue a resolution denying the right since it would originate an unnecessary appeal, against which a revision can be requested, in addition, if in the provincial instance the possibility of adjudicating the inheritance by this precept is considered, it avoids delaying the procedure.

• If the appeal is filed outside the 30 calendar day period, it is not admitted directly in accordance with the provisions of Resolution 853/03 of the Minister of Agriculture or the corresponding resolution will be issued by the Minister of Agriculture declaring NOT TO ADMIT such appeal, without knowing the substance of the matter, the same shall be done in the event that the aforementioned application is filed by a person not legitimized for such purposes (i.e., a person not legitimized is one who is not related to the cause, as provided for in Article 18 of Decree-Law No. 853/03). 125/91).
• Decisions granting rights that constitute the discretionary power of the issuing authority are final upon notification and no appeal or procedure in judicial or administrative proceedings is applicable against such notification.
