Default Inheritance tax and houses in France

Hey Quentin,
Think you got that quite right

I looked at this too, and EVERY child from no matter how many marriages gets to pay ........ nice eh?

The house can?t be passed from husband to wife. And if you had an estranged child from 'say' 3 marriages back they get a nasty bill for tax!!!

Is it best to buy the house in your Childs name??? But by paying tax in the UK, you are doomed when it comes to CAPITAL GAINS TAX.... they'll (think I read it right?) lob an automatic 3x value on you if they cant see your taxation.
Keep in touch
