Hassle-free, simply through your Franknotary.
Every country has its own inheritance rules, including France. With a standard Dutch will, you can still get into a lot of trouble there. Do you want to avoid unpleasant surprises or high French inheritance tax? Make sure your will is France-proof. Francenotary will be happy to assist you.
Since the introduction of European inheritance law, settling estates across borders has become easier. But only if your will is properly tailored to it. Is this not the case? Then you run the risk that French rules may undesirably prevail - with all the tax and practical consequences.
Below are some situations where Dutch and French inheritance law can be quite different:
Alignment of the will with the purchase agreement of your home or business
Cohabitation contract or prenuptial agreement
How the inheritance will be divided and settled
(Step) children who inherit
Tax implications of your will
Do you have questions about this? Or do you doubt whether your current will is still correct? Schedule a short online appointment with no obligation. Then we will check together whether your situation is properly regulated.
