What it does
Turns Claude into a structured assistant for French notarial practice.
- Fee and tax calculations: notary costs (DMTO transfer duties, scale-based emoluments, disbursements, CSI), property capital-gains tax, inheritance and gift duties, usufruct/bare-ownership valuation (art. 669 CGI)
- Deed drafting: nine templates — sale pre-contract (compromis), SCI articles, simple gift, gift between spouses, succession declaration checklist, act of notoriety, holographic will, PACS agreement, separation-of-property marriage contract
- Mandatory due-diligence checks: urban planning/PLU, pre-emption rights, mortgage status, required survey reports, condominium documents, easements, ERP risk statement
- Open-data integration: helper script hitting BAN geocoding, DVF sold-price comparables, cadastre parcels, Géorisques, GPU zoning and company registry — no auth needed
- Enforced answer shape: Facts / Assumptions / Analysis / Calculations / Risks / Actions / Limits, with statutory citations required
Who it's for
- Anyone buying, selling or inheriting property in France
- Notary clerks, estate agents and wealth-management advisers working under French law
- Expats and foreign investors dealing with French paperwork
- Users who want cited, itemised legal-tax reasoning rather than vague summaries
France-specific; it does not transfer to other jurisdictions.
Examples
- "Total notary costs for a €450,000 resale flat in Paris 11e?" → itemised DMTO, emoluments and disbursements with legal references
- "Second home bought in 2009 for €180,000, selling at €320,000 — what capital-gains tax?" → holding-period allowances plus surtax
- "Estate with €400,000 of property and a life-insurance policy, surviving spouse and two children" → devolution, allowances, reserved share, 12-step workflow

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the notaire folder from the GitHub repo romainsimon/paperasse into my ~/.claude/skills/notaire/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/romainsimon/paperasse.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r paperasse/notaire ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal (Terminal on macOS/Linux, PowerShell or WSL on Windows).
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/romainsimon/paperasse.git - Create the skills directory if needed:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy just this skill:
cp -r paperasse/notaire ~/.claude/skills/ - Confirm
~/.claude/skills/notaire/containsSKILL.md,references/,templates/,data/andscripts/. - For the open-data helper script, install Python 3 and its dependency:
python3 -m pip install requests - Restart Claude Code and ask something like "calculate the frais de notaire for a Paris apartment" to trigger the skill.
- Optional: for live legislation lookups via the Légifrance PISTE API, register at developer.aife.economie.gouv.fr and obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials.
- Rates and allowances change yearly — if the frontmatter
last_updatedis older than six months, re-verify figures on legifrance.gouv.fr and impots.gouv.fr before relying on them.
