If the land which shall be returned in Paragraph 2 of the preceding article is already a public property, disposed of, or cannot be returned due to other factors, the municipal or county (city) authority concerned shall distribute to the rights holders proceeds of the amount equivalent to the base price of the last auction of the land, deducting payable taxes plus real interest from the date of registering as state-owned land to the deposit. However, the proceeds will not be distributed if the land is entirely destroyed or lost due to force majeure, and cannot be returned.The money needed in the preceding paragraph shall be paid by the cadastral clearing deposit account for sale proceeds of land. If insufficient, it shall be paid by the national treasury.Regarding the land rights of Articles 19 and 26, if the rights holders who should receive the distributed proceeds in Paragraph 1 are dead, the authority concerned may distribute the proceeds to part of the heirs, based upon their relative share of the total estate.
