Learning unit contents

Within the context of the core curriculum of the specialised master's degree in fiscal law, the course in registration and inheritance law aims to familiarise students and help them to tackle these two subjects in an interactive way, through theoretical presentations and practical exercises. This general course focuses more on registration law than on inheritance law. The latter is mainly dealt with from the point of view of its interaction with registration law.
The registration law part is divided into three parts:
- the necessary procedures of registration; - the general rules of collection; - the study of proportional fees. There will be a special focus on the right to sell, capital invested and gift fees, and the particularities of each of the three regions will be highlighted.
Practical exercises will be done in class with the students or made available to them.
The subject of inheritance law will include a part devoted to the general principles and another to an introduction on the various fictions established by articles 3 to 14 of the Code.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The aim of the course is to enable students to familiarise themselves with all the civil and tax implications involved when they recommend a transfer operation for a fee or free of charge (with or without the intention to make a donation) or division of the immovable or movable property.
Experience has revealed that students who work in tax affairs will quickly be faced with these taxes and a lack of knowledge can put their clients at a serious disadvantage.
The major principles of inheritance law will be dealt with since a lack of knowledge can be even more harmful.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

These subjects require good knowledge of civil law (division of ownership rights, gift, lease, etc.), which students will be able to perfect through the notes as well as exercises done during some of the classes.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught in the form of lectures as well practical exercises done in class.
For the part taught by Ms. Douny, students will be asked to read the chapter corresponding to the syllabus, before the class, so that they can interact in the exercises in a relevant manner.
Students can have access to additional exercises.
For the part taught by Mr. Bruyère, a series of practical exercises are made available to students who can send their solutions by e-mail.
