MADDE 509 · 4. Edinilen hakların vekâlet verene geçişi

Vekilin, kendi adına ve vekâlet veren hesabına gördüğü işlerden doğan üçüncü kişilerdeki alacağı, vekâlet verenin vekile karşı bütün borçlarını ifa ettiği anda, kendiliğinden vekâlet verene geçer.

Vekilin iflası hâlinde vekâlet veren, bu alacağın kendisine geçmiş olduğunu iflas masasına karşı da ileri sürebilir.

Vekâlet veren, vekilin kendi adına ve vekâlet veren hesabına edinmiş olduğu taşınır eşyanın iflas masasından ayrılarak kendisine verilmesini isteyebilir. Vekilin sahip olduğu hapis hakkından iflas masası da yararlanır.
