Law/Patents - Law (general)
Spanish term or phrase: ...sujetas a condición o modo

Not sure about the end of this sentence, in particular 'modo'. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

subject to any condition or formalities
Explanation:
"Modo" is a requirement of Spanish Civil Law that is associated with the transfer of tangible property and is directly based on Roman Law.

In the Spanish legal system, the transfer of certain types of property is only valid if done based on a right to transfer and a "modo", which is the formality that completes the transfer process. As a consequence, the most adequate translation would be "formality".

Art. 609 of the Spanish Civil Code for reference.
