French attorney specialising in estate law, based in Paris

Structuring, transferring and protecting assets within a secure legal framework

I assist my clients at every stage of the management of their assets, both private and professional, through an interdisciplinary approach and in coordination with wealth managers, notaries and accountants.

Asset organisation and family arrangements

The legal organisation of assets requires prior consideration of the rules governing family relationships and ownership of property:

– Analysis and choice of matrimonial property regime (community property, separation of property, participation in acquisitions)
– Marital agreements and benefits
– Drafting or amendment of prenuptial or postnuptial agreements
– Civil partnerships and cohabitation arrangements
– Strategic analysis in anticipation of separation or divorce

Wealth transfer

I assist with the transfer of assets, whether during lifetime or upon death, within a secure legal framework:

– Wills and estate planning strategies
– Lifetime gifts (outright gifts, family settlements, manual gifts)
– Succession planning and determination of inheritance arrangements

Divorce and matrimonial property settlements

I act in divorce proceedings, whether amicable or contentious, and assist in international divorces involving private international law issues and coordination with foreign counsel.

I also advise on the liquidation and division of matrimonial property regimes, including the analysis, valuation and allocation of movable, real estate and business assets.

Private international law: cross-border families and assets

In an increasingly international environment, I regularly advise on cross-border situations:

– Determination of the law applicable to matrimonial property regimes or succession
– Anticipation of conflicts of laws and jurisdictions
– Application of EU regulations (No. 2016/1103 on matrimonial property regimes and No. 650/2012 on successions)
