The declaration to the SAFER

This decision provides important insight into your family and property rights. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

The declaration to the Land Development and Rural Settlement Company (SAFER) provided for in Article R. 143-9 of the French Rural and Maritime Fisheries Code does not constitute an offer of sale. Consequently, the SAFER's notification of its right of pre-emption does not have the effect of making the sale binding, and the seller may validly withdraw from the decision to sell

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points

• Strictly observe the statutory time limits for bringing a legal challenge
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, legal instruments, correspondence)
• Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than a dispute
