In the cases provided for in the two preceding articles, the property must be valued by an expert appointed amicably or judicially.

If its value exceeds the amount of the secured debt, the creditor owes the debtor a sum equal to the difference; if there are other mortgagees, he shall record it.

Si sa valeur excède le montant de la dette garantie, le créancier doit au débiteur une somme égale à la différence ; s’il existe d’autres créanciers hypothécaires, il la consigne.
