The legal institution of artificial real estate accession

Abstract

This article proposes an analysis of real estate acquisition in contemporary times, starting from a brief history of acquisition and legal regulations, in particular it examines the legal nature of artificial real estate acquisition. The issue of the existence of two properties with different owners was resolved in Roman law through the ruling that one of them could acquire ownership rights, a solution that has been adopted and developed by modern legislation. Analyzing the institution of accession from a historical perspective, highlighting the legislative provisions and how accession operates in terms of establishing a new property right, allows for a deeper understanding of the institution within the Civil Code and the modifications that have occurred. To understand how this principle operates, we will emphasize the defining features of accession, its operating mechanism, as well as the explanation of specific notions related to accession.
