OWNERSHIP, TAX AND ESTATE ARCHITECTURE FOR

INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS ACQUIRING IN FRANCE


EVERY STRUCTURE

MATTERS

Structuring of real estate acquisition for international and French non resident clients

The ownership structure chosen at acquisition determines tax exposure, estate implications and long-term flexibility.

For international clients, these decisions extend across jurisdictions and involve differing succession regimes and wealth tax implications that vary significantly depending on residence, nationality and the nature of the asset.

They must be addressed at the outset, not retrospectively.


Every property has its price.
Every structure its consequences.
