Finally, this investigation points out the kinds of property regimes and the rules allotted to each one by the legal system, the procedures related to inventory and asset sharing applicable to any kind of asset division, the regulation of the penalty for property concealing which cannot be left out from the category that most cries out for protection and the defect of legal acts in property division
