In it you will find out that notaires not only draft the sale agreement between the two parties, but that they also make the sale legally secure and do all the
necessary formalities after completion.
The document outlines the sales process explaining the procedures during and after the purchase, there is also an explanation of the costs involved.

Dear Williams,
If you have a property in your own name in France, French inheritance rules apply regardless of where you are a resident.
