Inherited Property in France — What Heirs Need to Know
An estate including property in France gives rise to three independent obligations in France: registration with the Service de la publicité foncière (attestation de propriété immobilière and acte de notoriété or European Certificate of Succession), déclaration de succession to the French tax authorities (deadline six or twelve months, allowances by degree of relationship) and instructing a French notary (FICOBA, FICOVI). The EU Succession Regulation governs only substantive succession law — not French tax and procedural law.
