Buying a property in France is now so popular a pastime in the UK that there is a very real demand for qualified legal information relating to foreign property ownership in France and on the rules relating to French inheritance law; and this book fills the gap in the information market perfectly.
‘French Property and Inheritance Law’ is listed as a publication for those British legal professionals who advise their clients on all aspects of their overseas business - but it is actually a very well laid out, straightforward and fully comprehensive title that is of intense and direct value to anyone who has a second or main residence in France. And unlike many other legal books it is not difficult to comprehend nor does it assume the reader has a previous deep understanding of the subject matter.
If you own or are considering purchasing a second home in France or of moving to France permanently to take up residence there it is critical that you understand both the basics of the French conveyancing system and the potentially incredibly far reaching consequences of the laws of succession and inheritance in France - which differ greatly and contradict those of the UK in some circumstances.
This fantastic book not only details every single fact that you need to understand relating to the legal aspects of the entire property buying process in France and the laws of inheritance, but it also clearly explains ways in which British owners of French property can avoid French inheritance tax and ensure that their property is dealt with and passed on according to their direct wishes and not necessarily according to the laws of succession for property in France.
It probably helps if you have a basic grounding in the French language when you buy this book although it is not essential, all the French terminology is fully explained in the context of the book’s subject matter which is a massive help. As mentioned the books is designed to be read by British legal professionals who advise their clients on all aspects relating to their property assets and/or estates and where they have real estate in France, but it is of massive benefit to anyone who owns a home in France - especially those who don’t have cause to consult a personal lawyer that often!
If you own property in France or you’re about to enter the French property market this book will give you a complete and in-depth understanding of every relevant French law relating to property ownership and furthermore it will help you to structure your estate’s assets in such a way that your estate should not fall foul of the French inheritance system and taxation regime when you die.
