If the person who is presumed to be dead or who has been declared dead reappears, he shall be entitled to recover his inheritance in the condition in which it is found from those who succeeded in his default and from their transferees by gratuitous title.  He may also recover the net proceeds of things alienated and for the diminution of the value of things that has resulted from their encumbrance.

Acts 1990, No. 989, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1991.
