Partnership

With no fuss, just through Francenotary.

French partner or assets? Get it right, before it's too late!

Were you married or in a registered partnership before 2018? Then in the Netherlands, all assets and debts automatically go into the joint pot. But... what if your partner is French, or you have a house together in France? Then different rules apply - and it can go badly wrong if you do not record anything.

Do you want to decide what the division looks like? Then lay this down in prenuptial or partnership agreements. In terms of content, it makes little difference, but legally all the more so.

Avoid hassles with ownership, divorce or death

A good agreement beforehand prevents legal woes afterwards. Especially if your partner has other ideas about property or future plans, or if children from a previous relationship are involved. If you do not document this properly, a French judge will decide later - not you.

Therefore: make sure your Dutch agreements are also legally valid in France. This requires customisation by a notary who understands both systems.
