Article 1062 of the Civil Code stipulates that the following property acquired by a couple during the existence of their marital relationship shall be the common property of the couple and shall be jointly owned by the couple: (1) wages, bonuses, and remuneration for labor services; （2） The income from investment in production and operation; （3） The benefits of intellectual property rights; （4） Inherited or donated property, except as provided in Article 1063 (3) of this Law; （5） Other property that should be jointly owned. Husband and wife have equal rights to dispose of common property.
The house purchased during the existence of the marital relationship, regardless of who contributed the funds and whose name is written, must be recognized as joint property of the couple.
But there are also exceptions. Real estate purchased by one parent for their children after marriage, registered in the name of the child of the investor, is considered as a gift only to one of their own children. This real estate should be recognized as personal property of one spouse.
