French term
à concurrence de moitié indivise
French to English
Law/Patents
Compromis de vente for purchase of a French property by married couple.
"Tous deux ici présents, acceptant et acquérant solidairement et chacun à concurrence de MOITIÉ INDIVISE".
I think it means that each jointly owns a half, but am not sure of exactly how to translate this, especially as "solidairement" means "jointly and severally" anyway.

Selected
each... to the amount of an entire/full half
Suggetion based on Eurodic. "A concurrence" would mean, anyway, until such amount is reached.

Comment: "Thank you - I felt your answer avoided the pitfalls of using a term which has a very specific meaning in English law (joint tenants)"

joint tenants
Joint tenants
Two or more people who own a property together. The joint tenants do not own distinct shares in the property. If one of them dies, the others will continue to own the property.
They acquire the property as joint tenants.

Either that, or as \"tenants in common\". Joint tenancy entails the right of the surviving party to inherit from the other, whereas tenancy in common does not. In France, I believe that joint tenancy exists for spouses with regards to \"patrimoine familial\".

The phrase you want could be \"as joint tenants for one half each, but it is somewhat redundant since there are only two parties involved.

\"Tenancy in the entirety\" would probably be technically correct but not as widely understood.

: Right in (Eng. Common) law. Joint tenancy can be of land as well as 'chattels' i.e. a bank a/c. ccf. tenancy-im-common = separate property that sound s the same to some trans. agencies, but is the opposite.

Thanks. I'm just not sure that the surviving spouse automatically inherits in France.

Nikki Scott-Despaigne
: Yep and the surviving spouse does not automatically inherit in France. The marriage contract - or absence thereof - largely determines what happens on that front
