2.

on the basis of a de­clar­a­tion by the own­er of the prop­erty or the hold­er of a dis­tinct and per­man­ent build­ing right to form shares in co-own­er­ship and to con­sti­tute the same as con­domin­i­um.

³ In or­der to be val­id, the con­sti­tu­tion of con­domin­i­um must be ex­ecuted in the form of a pub­lic deed or, where provided for in a test­a­ment­ary dis­pos­i­tion or in a con­tract of di­vi­sion of es­tate, in the form pre­scribed by the law of suc­ces­sion.
