Whatever the nature of the property (house, apartment, land, etc.) and the means by which it was obtained (purchase, donation, inheritance, etc.), the deed of ownership is mandatory and indisputable.<\/p>\n
There are different circumstances by which to become the owner of a property: purchase, donation, inheritance, etc. These situations, even if the purpose remains the same, have their own procedures, as well as documents relating to each case.<\/p>\n
When buying a property, the first step to seal the transition from buyer to owner is the signing of the authentic deed of sale before a notary. This first official and mandatory document constitutes proof of your quality as owner of the property concerned until receipt of the deed of ownership. The latter will be sent to you in the months following the signing of the deed of sale. Indeed, the notary must, after drafting, send this document to the land registration service. Once the deed of ownership has been validated by the tax authorities, it is returned to the notary who will provide you with a copy.<\/p>\n
During a succession, the transition from one owner to another is done without a financial transaction. There is therefore no authentic deed of sale, but an act of acceptance of the succession. The property is confirmed by a real estate certificate (or certificate of ownership) which constitutes the deed of ownership of the heir(s). It must be drawn up within six months of the death of the owner of the property. It must also be registered with the land registration service, just like the deed of ownership in the context of a sale. In the same way, this document will be essential to prove ownership, but also to sell the property following the succession.<\/p>\n
Like any official notarial deed, the deed of ownership contains so-called ad validitatem<\/em> information \u00a0; that is, the absence of any of this information could render the deed of ownership null and void. It is therefore crucial to include essential elements such as:<\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 the identity of the owner(s) (surname, first name, date and place of birth, nationality, full address);<\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 the description of the property (complete and precise address);<\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 the sale price, if the property results from a purchase;<\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 the cadastral references of the land (cadastral section, lot number, address, surface);<\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 the history of previous owners, if any;<\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 the origin of the property (purchase, donation, inheritance, etc.);<\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 easements, if there are any (right of way, right of draw, etc.);<\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 the identity of the notary in charge of drafting this deed;<\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 the date and signature of the parties;<\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 annexes (technical diagnosis file, invoices, mortgage, etc.)<\/p>\n The owner then receives a copy of the deed of ownership. The notary, meanwhile, keeps the original, also called “the minute”. In the event of loss, theft or destruction of the deed held by the owner, the latter may request a new copy from the notary responsible for drafting it.<\/p>\nHow much does a deed of ownership cost?<\/h2>\n
