Hi!

Time to establish ownership rights and other assets-related rights:

The time of establishing ownership rights and other assets-related rights shall be determined as prescribed in this Code and relevant laws; if there is no relevant regulations of law, the agreement of the parties shall prevail; if there is no either relevant regulations of law or agreement of the parties, the time of establishing ownership rights and other property-related rights shall be the time when the property is transferred.

The time when the property is transferred is the time when the right-holder or his/her legal representative possesses the property.

In case where the property which has not been transferred arise yield or income, such yield or income shall belong to the transferor, unless otherwise agreed (Article 161 The Civil Code No. 91/2015/QH13 dated November 24, 2015).
