Inheritance Law: Irish will recognized in France

    Hi All

    My husband (French) has property in France but works and lives in Ireland.

    We're looking into drawing up our will, and wondered: is it necessary to draw up two (Irish & French) or is one from his resident country sufficient? As in, will the Irish will (sorry!) be legally recognized in relation to foreign property?

    Apparently in France, if no will exists - all assets can be claimed by the government.

    Any advice?

    Thanks in advance

    Inheritance in France is very tricky....I used to have a holiday home there, and knew several other ex pats with holiday homes. The line most people seemed to take was to make a will in France when buying property there.
