Everyone, except the debtor, can submit an offer for the purchase of the foreclosed real estate, personally or by means of a solicitor, in the registry of the property enforcement section of the competent Court. The offer must be filed in a sealed envelope, on the outside of which are noted, after identification, of the person who materially provides for the deposit, by the receiving registrar, the name of the execution judge or the delegated professional and the date of the hearing fixed for the examination of the offers. 4. Opening the envelopes If the sale takes place by auction at the hearing set in the sales order, the judge's delegate will open the envelopes, or the envelope in the case of a single offer.

For the donee, by way of derogation from the general discipline on legal capacity, and similarly to the provisions for the will, the law states that the gift can also be made on behalf of the unborn, even if not yet conceived. The law also allows legal entities to gift if this capacity is recognized by their statutes or articles of association, and to receive them. The gift is a personal act that does not allow, therefore, representation, except for the possibility, for the donor alone, to release of a special power of attorney through which to give a third party the task of designating the donee from a category of subjects (natural or legal persons) or things indicated by the same.
