Practice question
Without authority, a neighbor takes charge of abandoned property to prevent an imminent and manifest loss and incurs necessary expenses in the owner’s interest. The intervention does not ultimately produce a benefit. The owner argues that absence of benefit alone invariably defeats Article 2150 reimbursement. Which is correct?
- Benefit is always indispensable regardless of danger
- Every unauthorized act automatically earns unlimited fees
- The manager acquires title instead of reimbursement
- The owner’s preference controls every expense
- Article 2150 extends the stated owner obligations to management aimed at preventing imminent and manifest loss even if no benefit results
