ARTICLE 485

 

SHARE OF CO-OWNERS IN BENEFITS AND CHARGES

·         The share in the benefits and charges is proportional to the interest of each

·         The accretion added to any portion of land owned in common shall benefit the co-owners in the same proportion; if it suffers diminution, they shall have to share, too, the same in accordance with their interests.

·         Any stipulation in a contract making the share in the benefits or charges disproportional to the respective interests of the co-owners is declared void because such a stipulation is contrary to the essence of a co-ownership.

·         The interests of the co-owners are presumed equal unless the contrary is proved.
