Du Rapport des Biens avec ceux qui les Possèdent

Property Law
Titre XI: De la Distinction et de la Nature des Biens (On the Distinction and Nature of Property)
Chapitre III: Du Rapport des Biens avec ceux qui les Possèdent (On the Relationship of Property to Those Who Possess It)

Tous les biens vacans et sans maître, et ceux des personnes qui meurent sans héritiers, ou dont les successions sont abandonnées, appartiennent au roi.

Life lesson: What no one claims, the king takes. Vacant land, the estates of those who die without heirs, abandoned successions — all revert to the sovereign. In Henry's Haiti, no property goes unclaimed.
Notes: Escheat principle: vacant/ownerless property and estates of those dying without heirs or with abandoned successions revert to the king. Standard civil law bona vacantia doctrine adapted to monarchy.
