The expression “movable property”, that of “furniture or household effects”, generally includes anything that is deemed to be movable according to the rules set out above. The sale or gift of a furnished house includes only the furnishings.
The sale or gift of a house, with all that is in it, does not include cash, nor active debts and other rights, the titles to which may be deposited in the house; all other chattel effects are included.
Private individuals have free disposal of the property belonging to them, subject to the modifications established by the laws. Property that does not belong to private individuals is administered and may only be disposed of in the forms and according to the rules that are specific to it.
The property of persons who die without heirs or whose estates are abandoned belongs to the State.
Communal assets are those to whose ownership or proceeds the inhabitants of one or more communes have an acquired right.
One may have over the property, either a right of ownership, or a mere right of enjoyment, or only land services to claim.
Ownership is the right to enjoy and dispose of things in the most absolute manner, provided they are not used in a way prohibited by laws or regulations.
No one may be compelled to dispose of his property, except in the public interest, and subject to fair and prior compensation.
Ownership of a thing, whether movable or immovable, gives a right to everything it produces, and to that which is accessorily united to it either naturally or artificially. This right is called the “right of accession”.
The natural or industrial fruits of the earth, The civil fruits, The growth of animals, belong to the owner by right of accession.
