Bogard Legal provides legal services to individuals relating to Wills, estate planning and French property advice including the administration of French estates. We also assist firms of solicitors who may need help with a French element of their file, such as the administration of the French assets in an estate. 

​

We can help with the following:

​​

• Wills - whether you need a review of an existing Will or you are making your first Will, either purely in relation to a UK-based estate, or where there is a connection with France

​

• Estate planning – considering the tax consequences of gifting or selling a property in the UK or in France, the inheritance tax consequences of making a gift of assets during your lifetime, and generally considering your inheritance tax position

​

• Buying or selling a property in France - by guiding you through the sale or purchase process

​

• Administration of an estate where there is a connection with France

​

• Review of an English trust where there is a French connection (which would require the trustees to report the trust in France)

​

We would be happy to have an initial conversation with you to discuss how we may be able to assist you, and our fee structure.
