French/English Wills

I'm not qualified to give you any answers mokryna, but just to say I sympathise. It was very complicated between the two countries when we did this, (even before Brexit!), and we were not divorced either. We had 2 businesses so had to marry again under French law to juggle things. Good luck!

Thanks for the wake up call. You nudged me into looking up
'making a french will in France' . I just assumed my kids
would inherit but yes with divorces always possible it needs
sorting properly. I remember all too well trying to buy a property here and the owners were 8 skwabbling grandchildren/cousins, gave up on it.

There is a Facebook group called Strictly Legal in France that may be able to help mokryna

We are seeing a notaire shortly to make French wills. We have English wills with everything passing to the surviving spouse and then equally between our children and then their offspring, but appreciate that French inheritance law is more complex.
We bought the house en tontine though, so that passes directly to the surviving spouse.
Will let you know how we get on.

I have no problem with the French will. My daughters will inherit and if, unfortunately, they divorce/ separate, the money they have inherited will not be divided with their partner and will be carried on through my own blood line.
