Thank you all for taking the time to post your very helpful replies. I am pleased to say that I have now found the clause.

 Can anyone advise me what the wording in the deeds of a property bought en tontine would be. Having looked through our deeds I can't find the words en tontine.

Thank you both for your quick responses which have made the situation clear.

I have recently had a cancerous tumour removed, I do not have a carte vitale as I am not eligible, so have private health cover. I seem to remember reading that if you are diagnosed with cancer you are entitled to a carte vitale regardless of your situation, does anyone know if this is correct.

  My husband and I are retiring to Cotes d’Armor we are non-smokers,no pets and have sold our property in UK and looking to rent a property which has storage facilities for our furniture while we house hunt in the Plemet area. We are planning to visit in 2 to 3 weeks time. Can anyone help. Betty B

Thanks for your response Ac50 I expect Brittany could be the same. I won't be able to resist all the lovely bread and pastries!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know if they have milk delivery men in rural Brittany or any kind of delivery van similar to what we have in villages fish man, bread man, coalman etc. If not will have to be more organised than I am here............. Betty B

Thank you Sue will certainly get the paper it is unfurnished we would like,or somewhere with a garage or cellar for storage. BettyB

Although I can't help I can understand how you are feeling we are in similar situation will be homeless in a few weeks due to not wanting to loose buyer for our property in UK. Looking to rent in Cotes d'Armor dept 22 and having difficulty finding websites that cater for long term rental. Good Luck Betty B

Thank you for your replies Will and Llwyncelyn unfortunately this could make things rather difficult. Kindest Regards BettyB

We are planning to start our new life in Brittany in the near future and have found answers to most of our concerns from this forum.The French Law of Property Inheritance Succession appears to be complicated . We have no children but my husband has two sons from a previous marriage. Our wishes are that one of the sons would not be a beneficiary and our English Will states this. When we move to Brittany can we legally make the same wish? If anyone can advise we would be very grateful.
