Real Estate Law
Real estate law, or "droit immobilier" in French, governs all legal aspects related to property, including the ownership, use, transfer, and development of real estate. It covers a wide range of issues such as property transactions, leases, mortgages, zoning regulations, and disputes over property rights. This area of law ensures that property dealings are conducted fairly, transparently, and in compliance with the legal framework, protecting the rights of buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and other parties involved in real estate transactions.
Real estate ownership involves the right to enjoy and dispose of property in the most absolute manner, provided it is not used in a way that is prohibited by law or regulations (C. civ., art. 544). When it pertains to real estate, ownership involves various sometimes obscure civil law concepts, such as the right of accession, usufruct, alluvion, or joint ownership...
Real estate taxation primarily deals with the collection of property taxes. The taxation of rental income and real estate transactions is subject to numerous measures designed to help reduce the property owner's tax burden.
