International clients
Buying, selling or inheriting in France from abroad
Buying, selling or passing on property in France from abroad involves specific tax and inheritance rules. VLT Notaires, a firm of seven partner notaries in Grasse and Antibes on the French Riviera, welcomes you in French and in English.
The French notary
A public official at your side.
In France, a notary (notaire) is a public official appointed by the Minister of Justice. The notary drafts and authenticates property sale deeds, settles estates, records gifts and marriage contracts, and advises families and businesses. Notaries’ fees for most of these acts are set by law.
Our first meeting is used to understand your situation and to tell you clearly what is possible.
