Reference decision: cc • No. 89-70.304 • 1991-11-27 • View the decision →
This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
The expropriation judge rightly refuses to order the transfer of ownership of plots where, being required to verify that all formalities prescribed by law have been completed, he holds that the owners concerned having died before the order declaring the property transferable, the expropriating authority has not adduced evidence of the formalities carried out to trace the heirs.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points to remember
- Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, instruments, correspondence)
- Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
