Practice question
Siblings validly inherit a privately owned house in undivided shares. No part has been dedicated to public use. Does their collective ownership prevent classification as property of private ownership?
- Yes, because more than one owner makes it public
- Yes, because inherited property belongs to the State
- No, because Article 425 includes property belonging to private persons collectively
- No, but only if the house is demolished
- Yes, unless each room has a separate title
