Practice question
A contract creates a demandable P500,000 payment obligation for services. The payer happens to own land, but the claim seeks only the sum and asserts no real right over that land. Does the debtor’s land ownership alone make the payment claim immovable?
- Yes, every claim against a landowner is real property
- Yes, every debt is a servitude over all land
- Yes, whenever payment may eventually be enforced
- No, its object is a demandable sum, making the obligation or action personal property under Article 417
- No, because a monetary claim is never property
