Practice question
A conjugal partnership was validly established before the Family Code took effect. In 2026 a claimant argues that Article 75 automatically converted every such existing partnership into absolute community, regardless of vested rights. No lawful conversion is established. What does Article 105 indicate?
- Every pre-Code partnership disappears automatically
- The date of establishment is always irrelevant
- Vested rights can never matter
- The claimant may select a regime by demand
- The Code recognizes existing conjugal partnerships and applies the relevant chapter without prejudice to vested rights; Article 75 is not an automatic universal conversion rule
