Provisions regarding the assets and rights which accrue to the absentee

The assets and rights which eventually accrue to the absentee from the time he disappeared without there being knowledge of his whereabouts and from the time one last heard of him and which depend on the fact of his existence, shall pass to those who would have the right to his succession if he was dead. § 1 - In such cases, the definitive curators or, in their absence, the Public Ministry, only have the right to apply that such assets be listed by inventory and those who are holding the assets or have taken the delivery of the same assets be directed to furnish adequate security, which shall last for a period of ten years only from the time the assets were taken by them. § 2 - The right of the absentee to such assets shall lapse only in accordance with the general rules of prescription; but those who have taken the delivery shall appropriate the income collected by them in case of restoration, provided the enjoyment was in good faith.
