Living will

With no fuss, just through Francenotary.

Accident, stroke, dementia, on a (world) trip?

Get your affairs in order, including in France.

What if one day you can no longer make your own decisions? Due to an accident, a stroke, dementia or simply because you are abroad for an extended period of time? With a living will, you arrange in advance what should happen then. And that is extra important if you have interests in France.

Think about your home, assets, business or medical wishes. With a living will, you remain in control - even if you cannot do it yourself for a while. This prevents uncertainty, stress and unwanted decisions by others. Even if you live (temporarily) in France or are subject to French law, this document is of great value.

Notarised deed with powers of attorney, also valid for France

A living will is recorded in a notarial act. This sets out who you trust to act on your behalf, both privately and professionally. Think proxies for your finances, medical choices or real estate. Also in France.

The big advantage? You prevent a judge (or unknown third party) from taking over. Your partner, children or another trusted person will then be in direct control. Exactly as you want.

Moreover, a notarised living will cannot simply be cast aside. It provides clarity as well as legal validity, even across borders.
