Learning unit contents
The course deals with couples's patrimonial regime, which covers two distinct sectors: the law of matrimonial regimes of married couples and the patrimonial regime applicable to legal or de facto cohabitation. The course provides an in-depth examination of the teaching of the baccalauréat in terms of practice, especially the notarial's one, and with case law examples. The course is also intended for lawyers and others, and will provide them with additional knowledge in the practice of certain technical matters.
First, the following topics will be covered: the primary regime and legal regime, marriage contracts and procedures for changing the matrimonial regime. The third part of the course will be devoted to conventional community and the theory of matrimonial advantages in particular. The regime of separation of property and its correctives, aimed at communitarization, will be next examined, as well as the transition law of July 14, 1976. The liquidation or division of a legacy in common, particularly as regards post-communitarian non-division, will be finally examined. This part will be teached by Ms. Aurélie NOTTET (15H).
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The objective of this course is twofold: first, to give to future lawyers knowledge about the choice of the best matrimonial regime for their clients, or the best modification of their matrimonial conventions; second, to encourage the precise application of the law governing family property law in practice, in order to prevent clients from settling too quickly.
