Possession is the holding or enjoyment of a thing or right which we hold or exercise by ourselves, or by another who holds or exercises it on our behalf.
One is always presumed to possess for oneself, and as owner, unless it is proved that one began to possess for another.
When one has begun to possess for another, one is always presumed to possess in the same capacity, if there is no proof to the contrary.
