ARTICLE 1129
For the purposes of prescription, there is just title when the
adverse claimant came into possession of the property through
one of the modes recognized by law for the acquisition of
ownership or other real rights, but the grantor was not the
owner or could not transmit any right.
WHAT IS MEANT BY
“JUST TITLE”?
Just title means that the possessor obtained the possession of the property
through one of the modes recognized by law for acquiring ownership (as
enumerated under Article 712) but the transferor or grantor was not the
owner of the property or he has no power to transmit the right (Article
1129). The just title is intended to transmit ownership and could have
actually transmitted ownership had the transferor or grantor been the true
owner of the property. This kind of possession arising from a just title can
ripen into ownership if the other elements of prescription are present.
Thank
You!
