Consequences of an untitled person disposing of other person’s property

In accordance with the provisions of the Property Law, where a person untitled to dispose a real property or movable property transfers the real property or movable property to an assignee, the owner has the right to recover the real property or movable property. Except as otherwise provided by law, in any of the following circumstances, the assignee shall obtain the ownership of the real property or movable property: (1) The assignee accepted the real property or movable property in good faith; (2) The real property or movable property is transferred at a reasonable price; or (3) The transferred real property or movable property shall have been registered in case registration is required by law, and shall have been delivered to the assignee in case registration is not required. Where an assignee obtains the ownership of a real property or movable property in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the original owner may ask the person untitled to dispose of the real property or movable property to make compensation for his losses.
