Common matrimonial property

(1) As the result of the community of property, the assets owned by each spouse, respectively, become assets jointly owned by both spouses (common matrimonial property). The common matrimonial property also includes the assets that one of the spouses acquires during the period of community of property.

(2) The individual objects become joint property; it is not necessary to transfer them by legal transaction.

(3) If a right that is entered in the Land Register or may be entered in the Land Register becomes common matrimonial property, each spouse may require the other to cooperate in correcting the Land Register. Similar provisions apply if a right that is registered in the ship register or in the ship construction register becomes common matrimonial property.
