Are your UK assets protected under French succession law?

In Episode 17 of The Expat Chapter France, Rob Kay and James Griffiths discuss the complex web of inheritance and succession for British expats living in France.

Key discussion points in this episode:

  • France’s strict “Protected Heirs” rules vs. UK probate
  • Why you probably still need a will as a French resident
  • How the new UK Budget changes to pension IHT impact you
  • Why the French Assurance Vie is a powerful tool (even if you’re over 70)

If you’re an expat in France, or planning a move back to the UK, this is essential listening.
