Section 455: Entitlement of heir to pre-emption

1) If a person sells his or her immovable property, the heir of the neighbor of such property may pre-empt such property upon payment of the amount paid by the buyer of that property, as well as the fees incurred in the course of approval of the deed to the buyer.

2) If there is more than one heir who intends to make a pre-emption pursuant to sub-section (1), the nearest heir, and, if such heirs are also more than one, the heir who is the most immediate neighbor, and, if even such heirs are more than one, all the heirs may pre-empt such property in equal proportion.

3) If the nearest heir does not pre-empt such property pursuant to sub-section (2), the heir who is the nearest in the order of preference may pre-empt such property.
