English translation:usucapion; registration of property (SEE BELOW)
Explanation:
usucapião = usucapion (also, "udal" or "prescription")
registo dos bens = registration ( or "recording') of property

Some related words:
"usucapiente" = "usucapient" or "usucapionary"
"usucapir" = "to usucapt" (or "to predominate")
"usucapto" (the adjective) = "usucaptable"

According to Black, usucapion (in Latin, "usucapio") is a term in Roman law, referring to a mode of acquisition of property through possession or occupation, in good faith (as opposed to usurpation, which is unlawful). There is a legal maxim: "Usucapio constituta est ut aliquis litium finis esset" ("Prescription was instituted so that there might be some end to litigation").

Thus, in your text, "It is usually [the members of] this second generation who attempt to appropriate everything, usually by invoking usucapion and recording the property in their own name..."

USUCAPIAO e REGISTO DE BENS


Explanation:
The translation of "usucapião" (not "usurcapião") is "adverse possession" (i.e., modo de aquisição da propriedade pela posse continuada e não reclamada, notória, mansa e pacífica, durante o prazo que a lei prevê).

The translation of "registo de bens" is "property registration" or "assets registration", depending what kind of "bens" you are referring to.

Please refer to "Dicionário Jurídico/Law Dictionary de Português/Inglês/Português", de Maria Chaves de Mello, 6ª. Ed., Ed. Pergaminho, Lisboa, 1994.
