HB 630 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

PROPERTY: Provides relative to the transfer of rights to a thing

HB 630 amends Louisiana's Civil Code to clarify rules for transferring property rights. It states that when someone transfers rights to property, they don’t guarantee those rights exist, and the transferor doesn’t owe refunds if the property is taken (eviction) or if the sale was unfair ("lesion"). The bill also clarifies that such transfers create a "just title" for legal claims based on time (acquisitive prescription) and don’t imply bad faith by the buyer. It further specifies that if the seller later gains ownership of the property, that new ownership doesn’t benefit the buyer. This is a technical clarification affecting property transactions under Louisiana law.
