1. produced thereby
2. attached or incorporated thereto
naturally or artificially
Classification of Accession
1. accession discreta (fruits)
2. accession continua (attachment or
incorporation)

an existing ownership over the
property.
*It is a right implicitly included in
ownership, without which it will have
no bases
