droit rural
AGRICULTURE
Rural law governs all agricultural activity, which is particularly present in Dordogne and at the heart of the Périgord Vert. In a few figures, agriculture in Dordogne is: More than 6,000 farms in the territory. About 430,000 hectares of agricultural land. Iconic productions such as walnuts, foie gras, and truffles. More than 1,000 aided installations of young farmers in the last 10 years. Practicing individually or in a company, selling or buying land, leasing or transmitting a farm: each step raises essential legal questions, for which the notary remains your privileged interlocutor. The Notaries of Excideuil accompany you in particular for: Choosing the legal status and creating the structure best suited to your project. Drafting rural leases. Organizing the sale or acquisition of agricultural land. Preparing the transmission or sale of your farm. A well-supported agricultural project is a solid and sustainable project, anchored in the territory.
WOODS AND FORESTS
With nearly 45% of its territory covered by forests, Dordogne – and in particular the Périgord Vert – stands out as one of the most wooded departments in France. These forest landscapes, rich in oaks, chestnut trees, and conifers, shape the local identity and support a dynamic wood industry. Forestry activity is well established there: the territory has more than 80 local sawmills, many operators, and a developing wood industry. Buying, selling, or transmitting a wooded plot is not just a simple transaction: it is a strategic, often family, act that deserves expert support. Are you considering acquiring a forest? Creating a forestry company? Transmitting a forestry heritage to your children? Our Office is at your disposal as a trusted interlocutor. Thanks to its knowledge of local specificities and its links with the players in the sector (SAFER, forestry experts...), it accompanies you in: the legal and tax structuring of your projects (forestry group...), the optimization of the transmission or management of your forestry heritage, the securing of sales and acquisitions of wooded plots. Whether you are an individual, a forestry operator, an investor, or an heir, you can count on the expertise of the Notaries of Excideuil to enhance and perpetuate your forestry heritage.
