Registration (Enregistrement)
Archival series 3 Q — registration & estate duties
Registration recorded acts and successions for tax. Its tables — especially the tables of successions and absences — are a powerful index: they reveal deaths, heirs and property mutations even when no notarial deed survives.
What it contains
- Tables of successions and absences — by death: the deceased, date, heirs and their relationship.
- Registers of declarations after death (mutations par décès): the estate's property and its value.
- Registration of private and civil acts, with date and a short analysis.
Step by step in GénéFoncier
-
Create the source. Type 'registration' (3 Q), the register and date, the cote; transcribe the entry.
-
Record the people. Add the deceased and the heirs with their relationships (a death event and its filiation).
Tip: if the deceased or heirs already exist in the application, find them by name and add the event directly from their record — no need to create a duplicate.
-
Capture the mutation. Turn the after-death declaration into a succession event on each parcel of the estate, with the heirs as new owners.
- Cross-reference. Use the table to find the notarial deed or the 4 Q transcription that details the act, and link them.

Estate division among heirs: creates parent→child parcel relationships.
Notarial contract defining property contributions; may include land brought as dowry.
Mutual land transfer between two owners; two parcels change hands simultaneously.
