I have searched the threads on buying in France, but never came across a definitive answer in relation to inheritance laws. I believe that where a married couple buy in France, they do not automatically inherit each others share of the property and their children inherit a share? However apparently there are ways around this. Two ways that I have seen mentioned, but never explained, are firstly that the couple would set up a company and buy through the company and secondly that they would enter into some kind of 'marriage contract'. Has anyone any personal experience of this and what did you do?
