Confirmação da titularidade de bens imóveis
Nota-se frequentemente a necessidade de empregar especial atenção da documentação do imóvel previamente à celebração do contrato pretendido. Desde logo, a consistência da titularidade de um direito sobre bem imóvel deverá ser avaliada antes da celebração de qualquer contrato que tenha por objecto esse mesmo bem.
Esta avaliação deverá ser feita através a obtenção e análise dos seguintes documentos:
• Documento que legitime a aquisição do direito por parte do transmitente (escritura pública, despacho de desconfisco, etc.);
Unconfiscated? returned to owner??? Dunno, need help here please

disconfiscation or deconfiscation
The term confisco clearly exists but I cannot find desconfisco in any Portuguese dictionary, whether legal or otherwise. However, Google shows the term to be particularly popular in Angola, where the meaning seems to refer specifically to an act whereby the state divests itself of assets confiscated from Portuguese owners in 1974 when Angola became independent from Portugal. Is the source text Angolan? In Ghana the terms disconfiscation or deconfiscation seem to be used in more or less the same type of context.

This is the example sentence I meant to post. It is from Ghana. "The disconfiscation of the assets is a process intended to restore to the rightful owners properties, which were seized, by the state."

The difference between confiscation and nationalisation appears to be that the former does not involve the payment of compensation to the previous owner, while the latter does.

Example sentence:
The government of Ghana has listed one hundred assets belonging to individuals, which had been confiscated since 1957 to be returned to their original owners.

Comment: "The text was about Angola. Deconfiscation sounds unweildy but I will go with it. Thanks"

Perhaps release of property that was seized by the state, who knows ?
