Article ANNEXE, art. 19 of the French Code of civil procedure

The decision invalidating an heir certificate is not subject to appeal. It must be brought to the attention of the public by insertion in a newspaper authorised to receive legal notices. It comes into force one month after it is published in the newspaper.

The invalidation decision may be pre-noted in the land register and entered in the commercial register at the request of a notary. These entries are cancelled automatically when the property or business is transcribed in the name of the true creditor or his successor in title.

Article ANNEXE, art. 19

La décision qui invalide un certificat d’héritier n’est pas susceptible de recours. Elle doit être portée à la connaissance du public par insertion dans un journal habilité à recevoir les annonces légales. Elle entre en vigueur un mois après son insertion au journal.

La décision d’invalidation peut faire l’objet d’une prénotation au livre foncier et d’une mention au registre du commerce à la requête d’un notaire. Ces inscriptions sont radiées d’office lorsque l’immeuble ou le fonds est transcrit au nom du véritable créancier ou de son ayant cause.
