France Attractions

Having to deal with the administration of an estate after you have lost a relative can be challenging. It can become even more challenging when there is a foreign element. There are similarities and differences between estate administration in England and Wales, and France. Here are some of the main points.

Wills and inheritance rights
If you die domiciled in France, French succession law will dictate how your worldwide movable assets (i.e. bank accounts, shareholdings, personal items etc) and French immovable assets (i.e. a property) will pass on your death. If you die domiciled in England or Wales French law will only dictate how your French immovable assets will pass on your death.

English law allows you to leave your assets to whomever you choose. The Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 allows certain people to claim against your estate if they consider they have been inadequately provided for, but it would be up to the aggrieved person to bring such a claim. If you don't leave a Will, or your Will doesn't deal with the whole of your estate passing under English law, then English intestacy law will dictate who is to inherit your assets. 

You should take advantage of the freedom English law gives you by making a Will. French law doesn't give you complete testamentary freedom. Even if you have a Will dealing with the distribution of your French assets, French law says you are not allowed to disinherit certain family members, primarily children. If your Will (English or French) tries to avoid French law, the law will override those provisions in your Will and your wishes will not be carried out.

The General Process

 
In both countries, the first steps following a death are to:

(1) locate any valid Will (there is a central Wills Registry in France);
(2) ascertain the assets and liabilities in the estate; and
(3) identify the beneficiaries due to inherit (whether under a Will or by law).

In France all family members with legal inheritance rights must be identified. The legal documents will specify each beneficiary's 'etat civil' (details such as full name, date and place of birth, marital status). If there is a French marriage contract, it will be dissolved first and dictate the distribution of the assets covered by the contract.

The Roles of Personal Representative and Professional
English law specifies that the personal representative ("executor" if appointed in a Will or "administrator" if appointed by law) is in charge of administering the estate. He carries out the steps above and will be responsible for accounting to the beneficiaries in respect of the assets in the estate. French assets vest directly in the heirs. The role of an executor in France is much more restricted and he does not have the same powers as a personal representative in England and Wales.

A beneficiary under English law can choose to accept his inheritance or disclaim it. In France a beneficiary has a third choice, which is to agree to receive his inheritance following full inventory of the estate ("l'acceptation a concurrence de l'actif net"). This option may be taken if the debts in the estate are likely to exceed the assets - French law specifies that a beneficiary inherits his share of the assets and he becomes responsible for his share of the liabilities. A relatively recent change in French law now gives an heir the option to renounce part or all of his inheritance rights before death occurs.

Does a professional have to be involved? An English solicitor can be appointed to act either as executor, or to assist with the administration of the estate. There are considerable benefits in instructing one. For example, a solicitor can advise on ways to re-structure the distribution of an estate post-death to minimise inheritance tax; a personal representative may need assistance in obtaining Grant of Probate; and a solicitor can help to account correctly to both HM Revenue and Customs (for the tax) and the beneficiaries (to confirm correct distribution of the estate).

A French Notaire will be instructed in certain circumstances, depending on the size of the estate and the assets in it. For example if there is a French property, there have been lifetime gifts, or there is a Will, a Notaire will be instructed. A UK solicitor with a good knowledge of both French and English inheritance and tax law can be invaluable in helping a beneficiary make the best choices under French law. For example, where there are children, a surviving spouse has a number of choices regarding his/her inheritance (perhaps to take the portion he/she is entitled to by law, or to take a "usufruit"). The choice should be made taking into account both the UK and French inheritance tax positions both at the deceased's death and on the spouse's subsequent death. The solicitor can also liaise with the Notaire to ensure the beneficiary understands the legal documents he will be required to sign.

Legal Documents
The Oath for executor (or administrator) leads to the issue of the Grant of Representation which confirms authority to the personal representative to collect in the assets and distribute the estate. In France, an "Acte de Notoriete" is prepared. It is longer than an Oath as it includes the terms of an existing Will, details of all the beneficiaries and how the estate will be divided between them. The Assent transfers property in England and Wales into the beneficiaries' names. In France, an "Attestation Immobiliere" will confirm which beneficiaries have title to the property. An English inheritance tax account is form IHT400 or IHT205. The French account is the "Declaration de Succession".

Inheritance Tax (IHT)
Be aware of French inheritance rights. If you die domiciled in England or Wales your worldwide estate will be chargeable to UK IHT and only those assets located in France will be chargeable to French IHT (with some exceptions where your beneficiaries have French residency). If you die domiciled in France then French IHT will be chargeable on your worldwide assets.

Under UK tax law if the assets in the estate exceed the available nil rate band allowance (currently GBP312,000 per individual) UK IHT is charged at a rate of 40% on the excess. There is an exemption on transfers between spouses or civil partners. French IHT is calculated by looking at the relationship of each beneficiary to the deceased. Each beneficiary is entitled to a nil rate band allowance (an "abattement"), which changes each year. The closer the relationship, the higher the allowance. For example for deaths occurring in 2009 there is a full exemption between spouses, and each child's allowance is EUR156,357. The allowance for an unrelated beneficiary (note: including a stepchild) is only EUR1,564.

The rate of French IHT on assets which a beneficiary receives exceeding his "abattement" again, depends on his relationship to the deceased. There is an increasing scale of rates for a child beneficiary, starting at 5% and going up to 40%. There is a flat rate of 60% for unrelated beneficiaries. UK IHT is payable from the estate by the personal representative and to avoid interest, it should be paid within 6 months from the end of the month in which death occurs. The beneficiaries are responsible for payment of French IHT (unless the Will specifies otherwise), and within 6 months of the date of death if the deceased was a French resident (otherwise within 12 months).

In certain circumstances, both laws allow payment by instalments.

It can be seen that the two countries have quite different approaches not only to succession law itself but also to the administration of an estate on death. For an estate where there are both English and French assets, careful estate planning during lifetime is key, and beneficiaries should seek legal advice on their inheritance after death to make the best use of any choice available. Please note that the above is not a substitute for detailed advice on a specific matter. It is for general guidance only, and specific advice should be sought from an expert.

There used to be a saying about how a job could be for life. Many people would follow the profession of their parents, staying in the same area all their lives, raising children, passing on their skills and never venturing very far from home. In today's climate, this is no longer the case. There is a huge difference in wages, not just around the UK, but around the world and people often travel to where the work is. Families are separated not just by a few miles but by oceans. But communication is still good given the facilities that we have these days and people are often moving their families to other countries to find an affordable property to call home.

When combining the two, some people buy a property that comes under the French leaseback scheme. This allows you to run a business as well as purchasing property and comes with many tax benefits. There are French leaseback properties available throughout France for people to invest in and it is a good idea, if you can afford to, to purchase one of these in Northern France. When most people think of moving to France, they think Provence, they think long, hot lazy days spent sipping wine and buying cheeses. But there is so much more to this country, including the North. Understandably, the climate in the North is not it's biggest attraction as it is pretty much the same as the UK but there are many more pluses to it.

For those in the UK that currently commute into the City to work, a French leaseback property in Northern France means that they would have the benefit of an extra income as well as still being a mere one hour from London - closer and quicker than if you lived in, say, Devon or Cornwall. So, what is the incentive in Northern France that makes it worth the effort of re-locating to a different country? For a start, property is cheaper than in the UK or in the South of France. Beautiful towns of American style villas and perfect lawns abound among a population that cares about their surroundings. Hardelot-Plage is one such town. It boasts competitively priced properties with great horse riding opportunities, two championship golf courses, forests and miles and miles of golden beaches with sailing, wind and kite surfing and sand yachting.

If an investor wanted to keep working in the UK, or stay close to family over here, they could purchase a French leaseback property in the North of France, be easily accessible to the UK or live in the UK and provide themselves with the ideal weekend getaway with plenty of outdoor activities. Buying a property that they could then retire to later on works out as a good investment, not just financially, but for a quality of life to look forward to. 

For those who already run their own business in the UK, buying a French leaseback property in he North of France can have added benefits. Combined tax laws mean that finances can be brought together and one lot of tax paid, giving enormous savings and making your investment even more worth while. If in any doubt, why not take a look at properties in this area. It's worth getting off that train and having a look round the immediate area rather than heading straight for the South.

France is the third largest country in Europe in terms of land area and it draws in more than 70 million tourists every year. These tourists visit the many different exciting places in France from the world famous Riviera to the city of lights which is Paris. Museums, great architecture and great cuisine are what make France an interesting place to visit.

The ideal time to visit Paris is during spring or fall when the weather is good and the waiters in restaurants are good-tempered. For great skiing, the Alps is best visited during the months of December to January. France got its name from the Latin word Francia which means "country of the Franks", a reference to the Germanic people who conquered the area during the 5th century B.C. It became a country during the 9th century and today it is a major member of the European Union. Tourists who want to enter France must have proper documentation first. Citizens of the U.S. just need to present a valid passport to enter the country while citizens of other nations may be asked for a visa. Inquire at your nearest French embassy on the requirements needed to enter France.

When your visa is ready and you have finished packing up, the quickest way to go to France is by airplane. The city of Paris has two major international airports to handle flights; these are the Charles de Gaulle airport and Orly. Many flights from North America and European cities land at these airports. Taking the train and bus is a cheaper although longer way of entering France. Trains and buses from nearby major European cities arrive and depart at Paris everyday bringing in lots of tourists and travelers alike.

Upon your arrival in France, finding accommodations would be your first priority unless you have booked in advance. There are many types of accommodations to choose from, be it hotels, hostels, bed and breakfast places or apartments and villas. Make sure to choose the accommodation that suits your needs. If staying only for a day or two in a particular area then a hotel is a good choice but if you plan to stay for a week or two in one particular area the renting an apartment would be much cheaper. Once you have settled in then the fun begins. There are lots of tourist spots to visit all over the country. Paris city alone has many scenic spots like the world famous Eiffel tower which has come to symbolize the city and the Louvre which is a world famous art museum which was once the residence of kings.

For great beaches head out to the Riviera where the rich and the famous hang out or for great skiing proceed to the Alps. Feeling nostalgic? Then head out to the Normandy coast where Operation Overlord of World War II began. After visiting these tourist destinations you may want to experience the nightlife of France. There are a lot of nightclubs, dance clubs, discotheques, bars and pubs for you to enjoy. The crowd is vibrant at night especially in major cities like Paris, Lyon and Marseilles. When the day ends and you head out to your bed and sleep, the following day promises a new place for you discover.

One of my favorite past times is to go mountain biking down countryside trails and travel long distances from one town to another. For me this is an enjoyable form of keeping fit and you have the added benefit of appreciating the scenery. Mountain biking does not necessarily have to be enjoyed in your own home territory and one can be involved with mountain biking abroad. Places like France, Italy, Spain, Africa and Australia.

Mountain biking in France is more popular than any other destination because of the smooth and challenging trails that make biking here more fun. The French Alps is famous for holding the popular Tour de France biking event, whereby thousands of spectators come from all over the world and support the contenders. The Alps is also popular with skiing holidays and professional skiing competitions, which has placed the French Alps as one of the top destinations for activity holidays.

The Tour de France has helped to keep the Alps to maintain its reputation for being one of the best experience mountain biking in France as a whole. The first Tour de France event began in 1903 and is structured so it is partaken in stages rather than one long marathon. History will reveal that the Tour de France was largely influenced and inspired by the popular sporting magazine in France, called Le Velo. Like most sporting magazines, this focused on sporting events but also included politic and current affairs in France.

Le Velo was produced and published to symbolise the innocence of Alfred Dreyfus, who was accused and found guilty of selling secrets to the Germans. There was a large division between the people of France, with one side favoring his innocence and the other believing he was guilty. Some of the advertisers were against what Le Velo stood and were very much against the support of Dreyfus's innocence. Those that withdrew their advertising later published their own rival magazine.

L'Auto was established and to promote it the Tour de France began. This was also a publicity spectacle to rival Le Velo and their event, Paris-Brest et retour organized by editor Pierre Gifford. Originally, the race was discussed to be a five weeklong tour, however with only 15 entrants this was then reduced down to just 19 days. Cycling journalist Geo Lefevre and Editor Henri Desgrange announced the event on January 19th of 1903 - thus born a new trend of mountain biking in France.

The public were caught and drawn in by the event, from the growing number of entrants (who were offered a daily allowance) and the entertainment attractions (some amateur and unemployed entertainers). The tour was split into stages of riding 400km, this saw the riders riding into the night, which captured the spectators attention. After the event, the magazine sales went from 25,000 copies sold to 65,000. By 1933 when the Tour had finished Desgrange had received a record of 854,000.

L'Auto magazine was not a direct predecessor to the now popular magazine L'Equipe, but was a spiritual figure and influence to the current organizers of the Tour. This is not directly organized by L'Equipe but is run by its owners called Societe du Tour de France. To this day this is an event which has grown on a massive scale over the years. This has influenced much of France to see many holidaymakers take part in mountain biking in places like the French Alps, but also open up other events like the Tour such as Giro d'Italia based in Italy and Vuelta a Espana based in Spain.

Static caravans in France are a very popular form of real estate for UK families longing for a great holiday break year after year.
