Family usucaption

Article 1240-A of the Civil Code will be analysed, which provides for Family Usucaption, or, called by some, Usucaption by Abandonment of the Home. In line with the Constitutional Principles of private property and social function, this modality makes it possible to acquire property when one of the spouses abandons the home for 2 years uninterruptedly and without any opposition. The property must be up to 250 m², shared by the former spouse and used for living purposes. In addition, there must be no other urban or rural property.
