French term

SL/SF

French to English Law/Patents Law (general) wills
This abbreviation is at the beginning of an "acte de notoriété" concerning how the estate of the deceased is to be divided. I have never seen this abbreviation before and have no idea of what it could stand for. Perhaps it's just me...
The text is as follows:
SL/SF
In the year XXXX
on the X of Y
This affidavit/notarial deed was drawn up by XXX....
Proposed translations (English)
2 +2 initials or reference?

Probably his clerk's initials. When you given context, please do so in the source language.
Aisha Maniar (asker) Oct 13, 2005:
Hi writeaway, yes the document is from France, Alpes Maritimes. The notary's initials are SL which could explain the first part but the SF?...the writing before is just the standard duty paid stamps and after the above there is list of those who requested the deed to be drawn up.
writeaway Oct 13, 2005:
is it from France? Any more French that can be shown?

agree Ines26 : I would say that too. The references of a letter in small size enterprises are usually as follows : Name of the requester/Name of typist/Number of document

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks a lot - I think you've pointed me in the right direction. The only reference to the company name is "étude de Me L." and no clerk's name is mentioned but I think you've got me on the right track anyway...cheers :-)"
