Using the following in R2012a

classdef BaseClass < handle
    properties
        Prop
    end
    methods
        function set.Prop(obj,value)
            obj.Prop = value;
        end
    end
end


classdef DerivedClass < BaseClass
    methods
        function set.Prop(obj,value)
            % Do something else
            obj.Prop = value * 10;
        end
    end
end


>> x = BaseClass

x =

  BaseClass handle

  Properties:
    Prop: []

  Methods, Events, Superclasses

>> y = DerivedClass
Error using DerivedClass
Error: File: DerivedClass.m Line: 3 Column: 22
Cannot specify a set function for property 'Prop' in class 
'DerivedClass', because that property is not defined by
that class.
