Accession

Hacienda accession

The tools of a farm join the property

The notion of accession comes from the Latin word accessio . The first meaning mentioned by the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ) in its dictionary refers to the act and result of access : enter, accept or yield.

Some examples

For example: “Access to the natural gas network does not reach 50% in our town” , “For meteorological reasons, access to the restaurant located at the top of the mountain is prohibited , “The president considers that the "The country's accession to the continental bloc is possible in the medium term."

In these three sentences we can see the use of the word accession in different contexts. In the first, we use it as a synonym for access in terms of the possibility of receiving a service or taking advantage of a resource: the town in question cannot enjoy the natural gas network in its entirety, that is, the community is deprived. half of the citizens of this privilege.

Then we have the case of a restaurant whose location is unconventional; Bad weather leads authorities to close the road to avoid accidents. Finally, we talk about a country that at the moment is not part of the continental bloc that would correspond to it, but that will soon be part of it, that is, it will have access to all the advantages of this type of organization.

Right of accession

For law , on the other hand, accession is a method of acquiring ownership of a property . Through the right of accession, the owner of a thing also makes his own what it produces and what is added or joined to it , either by human action, naturally, or by both means at the same time.

Accession supposes that the accessory follows the main thing. If we take what happens with real estate, accession implies the inseparability of the good considered as the main one with respect to another or others.

Some of its most notable characteristics are the following: it is an original way of acquiring; takes place in a singular capacity; It is free; It occurs between living beings. It is worth clarifying that, although the accession is given free of charge, it may happen that the law demands compensation from the individual who has acquired an asset in favor of the previous owner.

Continuous access

This is the type of accession that takes place when two things that belong to different people are joined, in such a way that after their combination they become a whole that can no longer be divided. This is directly related to the idea expressed above that the accessory is linked to the fate of the main thing.

In this case it is possible to distinguish three categories:

* real estate : in short, it occurs when a property is built or planted with materials or raw materials that belong to another owner;

* mixed : this category of accession is also known as movable to immovable . It is about the transformation that certain movable things go through that are attached to real estate and become part of it, as happens with the tools used on a farm;

* movable : occurs when two movable assets of different owners are joined.
