Argentina (AR) — civil law.
Nothing on this page describes United States practice. There is no certificate sold to an investor, no administrative sale of land for unpaid tax, and no redemption window after a
subasta judicialin Argentina. If you arrived carrying US assumptions, read falsos-amigos first.
Embargo ejecutivo and embargo ejecutorio — seizure inside the execution
The embargo is the judicial affectation of a specific asset to a specific credit. In
Argentine procedure the same measure wears three names depending on when it is
ordered: preventivo (a cautionary measure before or during a merits suit, CPCCN arts.
209 ff.), ejecutivo (ordered automatically when a juicio ejecutivo is opened on a
`título`, art. 531), and ejecutorio (the seizure that
the `sentencia de remate` converts into the
basis of the sale, art. 561). For an inmueble the measure lives on the folio real of
the Registro de la Propiedad, and it is the embargo — not the judgment — that the
`subasta` liquidates.
