Spanish to English
Art/Literary
Law: Contract(s)
In A Novel
Contexto:
Tercero: un contrato en el que ellos escogían unilateralmente al perito valuador y, por lo tanto, designaban el valor de la garantía: predio en Puerto Hermoso, el cual tenía un avalúo de más noventa y cinco millones de pesos, según una institución oficial del dos mil cinco; pero si ellos decían que no valía cincuenta centavos, eso sería ley y, como no cubrieran la deuda con este activo, tenían que responder con la universalidad de bienes de su propiedad.
Mil Gracias,
Barbara

[they had] to make up the rest with all they owned
The two answers above are correct, but if this is a novel, I think it needs to be phrased more accessibly.
"...but if they said it wasn't worth fifty cents, then that valuation would stand, and since this wasn't enough to pay off the debt, they'd have to make up the rest with anything and everything they owned."
"...but if they said it wasn't worth fifty cents, then that valuation would stand, and since this wasn't enough to pay off the debt, they'd have to make up the rest with anything and everything they owned."
