Mortgage registers

Step by step in GénéFoncier

1. Create the office. Add the mortgage office as an archive center (its ressort, dates) — every account hangs under it.
   
2. Open the account. For the person you found in the indicator, create their repertory account (compte) at that office: volume, case number, opening/closing dates.

   Tip: you can also create the account directly from the individual's record — open the individual, navigate to the Hypothèques tab, and click + Account from there.

   

   
3. Add each formality. Under the account, record each formality (transcription or inscription) with its date and register reference, and link its source acts — the original deed and its transcription.
   

   
4. Tie it to the parcel. A transcription of a sale is a dated event on the parcel: link it so the property's chain of ownership lines up with the register.
   
5. Cite everywhere. Each ownership step references the transcription that proves it.
   

GénéFoncier models this chain natively: archive office → account → formalities → source deeds — and the Studio lets you build it visually, recentering on the office, the account or the transcribed act.
