The Balgonar Dossier: A Title Investigation.

Cadastral Foundation

The Godfray Map officially establishes Henry Coutanche at Plot 628/513 (Manor House). This entry remains the primary root of title for the soil.

Regional Absence: Albert (Great-Great-Grandfather)

Corporal Albert Coutanche (RFA) is recorded on the Guernsey Census. This physical absence from Jersey established the window for the administrative bypass of his lineage interests.

Administrative Proximity (Adolphus Vesting)

Instrument of Cession & Abandon

The instrument used to redistribute Balgonar interests. No Power of Attorney from the senior branch was registered in the mandatory 1922-1924 ledger (Volume 63) to authorize this act.

Judicial Ascendance

Occupation Residency Verified

Official Occupation Registration Cards prove the family maintained physical residency in St. Lawrence, nullifying claims of title abandonment.

WW2: North Africa Campaign (Albert Great-Grandfather)

While the branch was serving in the North Africa Campaign, the domestic estate underwent further administrative diversions in the absence of the primary line.

Diversion of Family Identity (Finlayson Will)

The Will of John Keith Finlayson Coutanche bequeaths core family identity assets - including family bibles and portraits - to the Junior branch.

Succession: Michael Albert W. Coutanche (Grandfather)

The birth of Michael Albert W. Coutanche, grandson of Albert (WW1) and son of Albert (WW2), establishes the direct continuing line for the branch displaced during the mid-century period.

The Kelleher Analysis

John Kelleher (Chairman, Carey Olsen; Hall of Fame Litigator) confirms the fragility of Jersey land titles.

Vesting of Title

Title to La Maison Du Mont was vested by Act of Court. Carey Olsen, acting as Attournés, were discharged from their role following the completion of the dégrèvement.

Formal Refusal of Correspondence

Following the presentation of archival evidence, Carey Olsen issued a formal cessation of communication, citing the 2025 discharge to preclude further inquiry.

Status: Withheld Archival Verification

Payment for record L/A/34/C1/42/01 (the 1923 Cession) was processed at 00:30 Monday. As of this audit, the Judicial Greffe has not produced the document for review.
