I am about to sell my house in England and move with my wife to the place we have already purchased in France.  I realise that French law is complicated but what is the simplest thing I can do to ensure that my wife inherits the house etc in its entirety after my demise (and vice versa)?  I assume I need to have an up to date English will before I go any further. Thanks, Alias.  

I live near Vire in Normandy and am about to set out on a new task-the pointing of an end wall c.20ft x 8ft.  The range of mortar available is only exceeded by the amount of advice on how to do it, so I'll be very specific.  I'd like to find something that is ready mixed and-importantly-comes in a range of colours other than grey. I tried Multibat mixed with 4 parts yellow sand but it was still very grey. Does anyone know where to buy something that will do the trick? Looking forward to hearing from you.
