Janb Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 The UK court has just awarded me a jointly held French property in which my ex-husband has been given 56 days to transfer the property to my name. I have all the legal documents but neither my solicitor nor I know what the next step is. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I'm sorry, but that is surely what you are paying a solicitor for?You will get advice on forums like this, but I would want a properly qualified legal eagle to advise me if I were you.

All property transfers in France must be handled by one (and tax paid!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llwyncelyn Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I agree with Dick on this one and I as a lawyer could point you in the right direction but I would not under any circumstances (any) give you advice.I do hope you will not mind me for saying so but orders made by the English Courts are enforceable in France and also the other way around.If your Solicitor is worth his salt or his fee he should know and if he does not then surely all he has to do is to pick up the telephone and phone for advice and guidance from the Law Society, that is what they are there for.Make him earn his fee regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
