Hi,
I'd appreciate
some help with the situation my Mum is going to be in soon, there’s a limited amount
she’ll be able to do herself so I need to help out as much as possible.
Background:
- House isowned 50/50 with my brother, he does not live there.
- Our fatherwill pass away soon.
- Our fatherwrote a handwritten will, making reference to 2015 EU Regulation 650/2012 (BrusselsIV) about dividing up his share.
- The houseneeds to be sold in order for my mother to return to the UK
I have lots
of questions and would really appreciate any comments or directions:
- Helpguide me though the process after his death.
- How houseselling works in France. There’s a lot of advice out there, but with a 50/50 mybrother owns, what does that change?
- Is itcorrect that only when both owners agree to sell, can the house begin to be sold?
- Is itbest to use a local (to her) notaire?
- With the50/50 split of the house as it is, is it also split 50/50 between my mother andfather? Therefore, when he passes, essentially 25% covered by his will/estate?
Finally, is there a UK based firm that I could
contact to help me sort this out as my French is terrible!
Many thanks, D
