European certificate of inheritance

With no fuss, just through Francenotary.

French and Dutch inheritance law: that chafes and you solve it like this

Dutch and French inheritance law differ. Fortunately, European inheritance law has applied since 2015. This allows you to settle an international estate, such as a house or assets in France, more easily. Francenotary will be happy to help you with that.

What is a European Certificate of Succession?

A European Certificate of Succession is indispensable if you want to inherit or settle an estate in France. This declaration ensures that you or your heirs are also legally recognised in France. Francenotary can draw up this declaration and have it translated into French. This allows you to arrange the entire estate, including the home, banking affairs or other assets in France, without the intervention of a French notary. This saves time, money and worries.

International European will

Do you already have an international will that is valid in France? At Francenotary, you can have everything taken care of under one roof: the will, the correct choice of law and alignment with French inheritance law. Very convenient.
