1827. The donee may recover from the donor a payment he has made to free the property of a right vested in a third person or to execute a charge, only to the extent the payment exceeds the benefit he derives from the gift.
The evicted donee may, however, recover from the donor the expenses paid in connection with the gift in excess of the benefit he derives from it if the eviction, whether total or partial, results from a defect in the transferred right which the donor was aware of but failed to disclose at the time of the gift.
