In case of appearance of a citizen declared as dead or identifying his or her place of location, the court shall abolish the judgment on declaring him or her as dead.

Regardless of the time of his or her appearance, the citizen may claim from each person the return of preserved property which gratuitously passed to that person after the declaration of the citizen as dead, except for the cases provided for by point 3 of Article 275 of this Code.

The persons having acquired the property of a citizen declared as dead through non-gratuitous transactions shall be obliged to return the property thereto, where it is proved that in the course of acquiring the property they were aware that the citizen declared as dead was alive. In case of impossibility to return that property in kind, its cost shall be compensated.

Where the property of a citizen declared as dead has passed to the community by the right of succession and has been realized in observance of the conditions provided for by this Article, the amount received from the realization of the property shall be returned to the citizen after abolishment of the judgment on declaring him or her as dead.
