Probate for American with apartment in France being left to daughter who is in Barcelona and married to a Spaniard


How do I arrange to leave my French apartment to my daughter in Europe? Will a bequest in my American will suffice? Leave it up to my daughter to sort out any legal questions after I'm gone?



Sounds reasonable.

Thank you. So the notaire only handles the specific property in France, it is not about Estate Planning with a will and a lawyer, I gather.

Thanks. This is very helpful. I do own the place on my own. However, it could be a little complicated as I am a widow and my husband had two grown daughters when we married with whom I am still very close. One is in the USA and I intend to leave her my US house and give the one in Spain my flat in Rouen. But I gather from what you say that I can go to a Notaire (with a translator), explain my situation and they will help me sort it out.
