It is ineffective against the State if it does not bear an authenticated date preceding 2/8/1990. Article 12 of the said Law. - The appellant, who is subject to Law 41 of 1993, selling his undivided share in real property to his son after 2/8/1990. It is ineffective against the State. His reliance on Article 216/h of the Law of Procedure does not alter this. The basis: the provisions of the general law may be applied only to matters not regulated by the special law, and the implication of the appellant and his wife selling the property is that they no longer need it as a residence; thus, the prohibition on attachment provided for in that Article does not apply to it.
