02 June 2025
A successive gift is, first and foremost, a gift, that is, an act “by which a person freely transfers all or part of their property or rights to another person,” in a present and irrevocable manner (meaning the donor cannot reclaim the property or right once given).
Yes. Grandparents can accept gifts on behalf of their grandchildren, even if the parents are still alive (Article 935 of the Civil Code).
Yes. A minor may receive a gift, but as they are legally incapable (Article 414 of the Civil Code), a legal representative (usually a parent) must on their behalf (Articles 935 and 382 of the Civil Code).
It depends. The 10-day withdrawal right applies to non-professional buyers (Article L 271-1 CCH). If the SCI’s purpose includes real estate acquisition, it may be deemed professional (Cass. 3rd Civ., 24 Oct. 2012, No. 11-18.774).
No. Verbal promises are risky. The neighbor may sell, and the new owner could deny access. It’s better to establish a notarized right-of-way. If they refuse, you can go to court (Articles 686 and 682 of the Civil Code).
Yes, but only if two years have passed since purchase. If you buy less than two years before the lease ends, you must wait two more years before giving notice (Article 15 of the 6 July 1989 law).
No. Only private individuals are eligible for this energy renovation subsidy (Article R321-12 of the French Construction and Housing Code).
