AI Summary

  • Amends Civil Code Article 2502 to clarify that a person may transfer "all the rights" to a thing (rather than "whatever" rights) without warranting the existence of those rights

  • Transferor owes no restitution of price to transferee if eviction occurs, and the transfer cannot be rescinded for lesion (grossly inadequate price)

  • Transfer does not establish a presumption of bad faith by the transferee and qualifies as "just title" for purposes of acquisitive prescription

  • Adds new provision specifying that if a transferor later acquires ownership of the thing after transferring rights, that after-acquired title does not benefit the transferee

  • Adds new provision that instruments without effect as to third persons under Article 3338 (unrecorded instruments) are also without effect to transferees of rights to a thing
