French and international estates

Passing on wealth through an estate needs to be prepared and organised, often well before the estate itself is opened. Where it has an international dimension, such as assets located abroad, non-resident heirs or a deceased person resident outside France, several legal systems and treaties come into play and must be carefully coordinated.

We support families and heirs at every stage, from estate planning to the settlement of the estate, securing its civil and tax treatment both in France and internationally.

Our work includes, in particular:

• Planning and organising the estate
• Settling French and international estates
• Applying tax treaties and EU succession law
• Preparing the estate tax return and calculating inheritance tax
• Resolving situations involving heirs or assets abroad
