Thank you to all who have replied. i'm not happy with the answers but at least I know where we stand. Again thank you.  Scaries

My wife and have both been married previously and have 2 children each of those marriages. We have no children in this marriage. Due to a long and involved saga our wills in this country bestow our estate to a charity. We seem to have hit a road block re French law. We wish to ensure when the surviving partner dies the estate goes where we agree, a charity, and not to any of the children. Is there a legal way to make this happen in French law. We have spoken to so called expert solicitors in this country who are alleged French law experts but they want a minimum of £300 up front. All I want is a simple answer, can we make sure our estate goes to a charity when we both die. I am perfectly willing to pay solicitors fees if we can purchase with the above proviso.
