# Art. 2028. Effects as to third persons

Any simulation, either absolute or relative, may have effects as to third persons.

Counterletters can have no effects against third persons in good faith. Nevertheless, if the counterletter involves immovable property, the principles of recordation apply with respect to third persons.
