We keep receiving letters from General des Eaux Services, from what I can understand is an insurance for cover of water pipes our side of the main meter. Our house insurance covers us for burst pipes, flooding etc, Is this worth taking out?

Thanks for the advice, going to see Notaire next week.

Would anyone be able to give up to date info on the following queries we have - Have read that funerals must take place within 6 days, is it possible to delay this? We would be terribly upset if our family were not able to arrange to attend in time. We also need to write our wills, We understand that French wills divide the estate between spouse and children, but we want to leave everything to just the remaining spouse and was thinking of the handwritten form of will. Can this be written in English? And does anyone have a good link for the wording. Also does it have to be lodged with a notaire?
