Any treaty or agreement the object of which is the transfer for valuable consideration or free of charge of an office, the clientele, minutes, repertoires, collections and other objects dependent thereon must be evidenced in writing and registered, before being produced in support of the application for appointment of the designated successor.
In the event of transfer of the office by death to a sole heir or legatee, the latter must produce in support of his application for appointment a certificate issued free of charge by the competent public accountant stating that the transfer duty by death has been paid.
