Hi I probably didn't phrase it clearly. Being English, married in England, we don't have a marriage 'contract' like the French but they class 'married under English law' as Séparation de Biens in France. I had thought that 'state' just continued but my original post was because I had read something a while back which said, in the absence of a formal contract, you would be classed as coming under one of the French contracts after so many years' residence which kept anything owned prior to marriage separate but anything amassed during the marriage as communal assets. This affects our particular situation so I queried it with the Notaire and she confirmed it. However, I am still researching it. Yes, she said she could organise a marriage contract and we will discuss that in more detail with her next time. AFAIK it does  leclairon, could I ask a favour please? When you see your notaire, could you ask her whether a testament on the part of one époux overrides the Communauté Universelle contract? I'd be most interested in the response! |

I suspect it will depend whether a 'reserved heir' comes into play.

It will. I'm just going through a succession.
