An easement is a charge imposed on an inheritance for the use and benefit of an inheritance belonging to another owner.
He who has a right of habitation in a house may live there with his family, even if he had not been married at the time the right was given to him.
The right of habitation is restricted to what is necessary for the habitation of the person to whom this right is granted and his family.
The easement does not establish any pre-eminence of one inheritance over another.

Our translations are produced and reviewed for accuracy, but the only legally binding version of French law is the French original. For court, registry or contractual use we offer lawyer-reviewed or sworn certified translations on request.
Articles are synced with Légifrance and updated as soon as a reform is published in the Journal Officiel, so you always read the version in force — and can see when each article was last amended.
Each article is linked to the key court decisions (Cour de cassation, Conseil d'État, courts of appeal) that interpret it, so you can read the text and its case-law application side by side.
Yes — every article has an AI plain-English summary, and you can order a lawyer-reviewed explanation of how it applies to your specific situation, with next steps.
No. Reading and searching the codes is free with no login. Paid services — certified translation and the legal application report — are entirely optional.
