Article 770 of the French General Tax Code

The debts the deduction of which is requested are detailed, item by item, in an inventory certified by the depositor and appended to the declaration of the succession.

In support of their request, the heirs or their representatives must indicate either the date of the deed, the name and residence of the public officer who received it, or the date of the judicial decision and the court from which it emanates.

They must represent the other titles, deeds or writings which the creditor may not, on pain of damages, refuse to communicate under receipt.
