| First, the possession mentioned in Article 1544 includes not only material but also symbolic possession.[42] Second, possessors in good faith are those who are not aware of any flaw in their title or mode of acquisition.[43] Third, buyers of real property that is in the possession of persons other than the seller must be wary -- they must investigate the rights of the possessors.[44] Fourth, good faith is always presumed; upon those who allege bad faith on the part of the possessors rests the burden of proof.[45] | |||||
