Monday 10th September 2007Good Will HuntingFrom time to time, most people who have moved from one country to another will be startled by some rule or regulation that is normal in their new home but inconceivable in their old one. Sometimes, however, it really pays to investigate the local ways of doing things before they affect you, and there are few areas where this is as important as inheritance law. What's mine is yoursEach country has its own inheritance laws. As soon as a person is resident in a country or owns immovable property (such as a house) it's wise for them to have a will that takes local law into account. For example, France imposes a system of forced heirship, where a portion of a person's estate is distributed in specific, state-mandated ways after their death. To find out more on France's inheritance laws see AngloINFO's INFOrmation Page on Inheritance Law in France. To find out about the various types of French Will and how to go about making one, see the INFOrmation Page on Will Making in France. Professional advice - especially when the expert speaks your language - is always advisable.
