For international families in France
If you've recently lost a loved one in France, you don't have to face the administration alone.
French bereavement administration follows its own rules, its own language, and its own timeline — the funeral home, the mairie, the notaire, the bank. We handle that process for you, so your family can grieve without also learning French inheritance law.
Below are the ways I can help, from a single guided call to complete, hands-on coordination of the succession file from start to finish.
01
Funeral home & declarations
I can liaise directly with the funeral home.
02
Succession file
I can gather, translate, and organise the documents your notaire will need — birth, marriage, and property records, French and foreign.
03
Notary coordination
I can act as your point of contact with the notaire throughout the succession, so nothing is lost between languages or time zones.

Get in touch
I'll ask a few short questions about the situation and recommend where to start — there's no obligation, and the first conversation is always with a person, not a form.
