Decree-Law No. 482/88, 26 December 1988.
This Decree-Law adopts measures aimed at resolving land use matters that remained following the implementation of the Portuguese land reform policy under Law No. 2014 of 27 May 1946.  The two principal measures introduced by the Decree-Law are 1) the lifting of legal impediments to the use of land acquired by the Colonization Agency under the 1946 statutes, but not redistributed under that policy and 2) the granting of full property rights to settlers who have paid and/or do not default on future payments of annuities owed pursuant to land distribution plans under the land reform policy.
