Title IV — Property Relations Between Husband and Wife
Article 110
ELI5— what this means for you
If the exclusive property of one spouse is improved using conjugal funds, the increased value belongs to the conjugal partnership — but the original property stays exclusively the owner-spouse's.
Official text — EO 209
The spouses retain the ownership, possession, administration and enjoyment of their exclusive properties.
Either spouse may, during the marriage, transfer the administration of his or her exclusive property to the other by means of a public instrument, which shall be recorded in the registry of property of the place the property is located. (137a, 168a, 169a)
