  1. The goods of societies or associations which assume before the State a civil legal personality on behalf of a convent, a province, or the Order are really our own goods and
    must be treated as such.
  2. Therefore, the legal representative of the civil person which acts on behalf of a convent, a province, the Order, or an institution belonging to them may take only those actions which, according to our law, a competent superior or administrator may take; and he is strictly obliged to carry them out not as he decides, but as instructed by the competent official.
  3. The same applies to other administrators and to each associate who by voting or in any other way takes part in administration. In all such cases, legal precautions must be taken
    lest any loss be sustained from the death of a brother or from any other cause.
  4. If the legal representative is a lay person his/her rights and obligations must be determined in a special contract.
