We have lived in France for 10 years now, and 3 months ago bought a  house in the Burgundy.  Although my second wife has no problems with my 3 adult children from my first marriage, there is the problem of inheritance, should I die.  Can I get round this by forming a SCI AFTER the purchase, so that my wife is sole inheritor, and only after her death, the 'pie being carved up' to my children?   We have a 'Donation Entre Epoux' with 'usufruits' thus allowing her use of the property, but that doesn't really help - should I die, my wife may wish to leave the Burgundy.  The house would then be sold and the 'pie' would then be carved up by my children, leaving her with a problem.  We have a small life insurance (on each other);  by French law, is this independent of the inheritence laws?
