Short answer. Not on your own. Under Article 2007 of the Civil Code, the depositary of sequestered property cannot be relieved of responsibility — and you cannot simply reclaim the property — until the controversy that caused the sequestration ends, unless the court itself orders the property returned earlier.
What the law says
The depositary of property or objects sequestrated cannot be relieved of his responsibility until the controversy which gave rise thereto has come to an end, unless the court so orders.

What sequestration does to your property
When a court orders property sequestered in the course of a lawsuit, it does not transfer ownership — you remain the owner. What changes is control. The property is placed in the hands of a depositary, who is responsible for keeping it safe and intact throughout the case. The sequestration preserves the subject matter of the dispute so that whoever wins the case can actually receive what was at stake, rather than discovering the property has been dissipated or transferred away during litigation.
Why you cannot simply take it back
Article 2007 binds the depositary to their responsibility until the controversy which gave rise to the sequestration has come to an end. The depositary cannot walk away from the obligation mid-case, and by extension, the owner cannot demand the property back unilaterally while the case is still being litigated. The sequestration exists precisely because there is a live dispute about the property — releasing it before the dispute is resolved would undermine the entire purpose of the measure.
The one opening: a court order
The article includes a single exception: unless the court so orders. This means the door is not completely closed. If you have a legitimate basis for seeking the property's return before the case ends — for example, changed circumstances, hardship, or a showing that the sequestration was improvidently granted — you may file a motion asking the court to lift or modify the order. The court retains the authority to release the property at any point if it finds good reason to do so. But that decision belongs to the court, not to you.
What to consider if the case is taking too long
Property under sequestration can sit idle for years while litigation drags on. If the delay is causing real harm — the property is deteriorating, income is being lost, or the depositary is not maintaining it properly — those are grounds to bring before the court. A motion to release or to change the depositary may be appropriate depending on the facts. The Civil Code's sequestration rules contemplate that the depositary is responsible for the property's upkeep during the pendency of the case, and failure to do so can itself become a separate issue in the proceedings.
