Dear Mr.

Hieu

I am writing this letter to thank you for your coming and asking for legal services.

You have made a written authorization for Mr. Dung to stay at your house and take measures to protect your
orange garden with nearly 300 orange trees during your trip to Hanoi. However, you cannot return within 2
months as stated in the authorization, Mr. Dung contacted you to harvest the orange orchard. Mr. Dung
arbitrarily sold oranges in your garden without your consent, nor did he return the revenue from selling
oranges to you because he thinks that he was entitled to profits from taking care of the orange garden.

The legal issue is about the PERFORMANCE OF ACTS WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION

According to Article 576 of the 2015 Code on according to Article 576 of the 2015 Civil Code on Obligation
of the beneficiary to pay for acts performed without authorization

1. A beneficiary of an act performed without authorization must accept the results of the act when it is handed
over to the beneficiary by the person having performed the act and [must] reimburse that person for reasonable
expenses incurred in performing such actions, even where the performance has failed to achieve the results
desired by the beneficiary.

2. If a person has performed an act properly for the benefit of a beneficiary, the beneficiary must remunerate
the person having performed the act, unless the person having performed the act refuses to accept the
remuneration.

Therefore, in this case, you have the right to ask Mr. Dung to refund the revenue to you. But at the same time,
you have to pay Mr. Dung's remuneration for harvesting oranges that bring you revenue.

Best regards

Due to jealousy and unreasonable insults, you have unilaterally filed for divorce with Mai. You and Mai have a
dispute over the house in Ninh Kieu district, Can Tho city that Mai bought from the winnings during their
marriage. On the certificate of ownership, only Ms. Mai's name is on it, not both Mai's and you.

The law has very clear provisions on the common property during the marriage, specifically: Clause 1, Article
33 of the Law on Marriage and Family 2014 provides for the common property regime of husband and wife as
follows: “Common property of husband and wife, including assets created by husband and wife, income from
labor, production and business activities, yields, income arising from separate property and other lawful
income during the marriage period... And in Article 9 of Decree No. 126/2014/ND-CP, dated December 31,
2014, of the Prime Minister detailing several articles and measures to implement the Law on Marriage and
Family, the winning money is other lawful income of husband and wife during the marriage period. Thus,
winnings are legal income during the marriage period and common property during the marriage period. Since
it is common property, the house will be divided according to the provisions of the law.

Clause 2, Article 59 of the Law on Marriage and Family 2014: Principles of settlement of property of husband
and wife upon divorce

2. Common property shall be divided into two, taking into account the following factors:

a/ Circumstances of the family, husband, and wife;

b/ Each spouse’s contributions to the creation, maintenance, and development of the common property. The
housework done in the family by a spouse shall be regarded as income-generating labor;

c/ Protecting the legitimate interests of each spouse in their production, business, and career activities to create
conditions for them to continue working to generate incomes;

d/ Each spouse’s faults in the infringement of spousal rights and obligations.

You can choose the most beneficial mediation method for both parties or file a case with the Court for
settlement
