Things To Consider Before Buying Property In France
France's succession (inheritance) laws are different to those in the UK and your property will not automatically be inherited by the beneficiaries of your will in the way it might be in the UK.
To ensure your property will be inherited in the way you wish, your sale contract needs to reflect your wishes – discuss this with your Notaire.
