French uk inheritance tax specialist

@SallyG1

Hi Sally,

I am thinking that in your situation the detail of the UK inheritance would list the assets, their value and a calculation which includes UK tax exemption.

No tax to pay as a resident here.

I have searched far and wide to try and find out exactly how to complete the relevant forms.DE

I am a French resident +6 years, inheritance from U K

Can anyone please confirm if this is correct or not?

déclaration de succession. 2705-SD

page 1 completed details of the deceased.

page 2 details of the marriage regime. Nothing else completed under OU

Déclaration de succession 2705-S-SD

Details of declarant. Héritier.

Dévolution Successorale = all the names of inheritors, dob, link to deceased. EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT RESIDENT IN FRANCE ?

Page 2.

List the inheritors in France, (members of the same family) and amount received in euro.

Sign date at bottom.

INCLUDE with these two French forms:

Copy of UK probate

Copy of death certificate (UK)

Copy of IT400 (UK)

Does anything else need to be written on the forms or any other documents needed?

@salma I attach the two documents the impots sent to help me complete the 2705 forms.

Your questions re: Dévolution Successorale - I listed all inheritors as written in the Will and provided an estate summary on the S-SD form.

I sent the forms with a covering letter only and no other documents were requested.

Brilliant, thanks so much.

One (hopefully ) last question. On the first form listed, I don’t have any details regards funeral expenses or other debts that needed to be paid etc as I wasn’t an executor. Can I leave that part blank, not sure I will be able to gain access to those details.

@Salma if the estate admin has been completed by the executor(s), you can request a copy of an estate summary which should provide these details.
