regime matrimonial

[Senga]

Hi All

Not sure were to post this, it's really a matter of translation but it's legal language. I 've just received a copy of our recently signed marriage regime from the notaire. The final paragraph has me a little worried. As it wasn't explained at the signing. My french is not bad but, "the forseen proportional fees of the value of my estate" etc etc is too technical for me. Anyone had anything similiar? Or knows exactly what it means. Thanks.

"Les epoux sont informes de ce que le tarif des notaires prevoit un emolument proportionnel a la valeur des biens du premourant sur les conventions de partage inegal de communaute, telles que celles d'attribution integrale au conjoint survivant figurant dans le present contrat. Cet emolument est percu au deces du premourant."

Hello Jane and Charlie,

This translation isn't easy, (linguistically and conceptually) . My

translation should be followed up by supplimentary clarification. For

example it would be helpful to know more more about the "le partage

inégal".

P.S. Adding the accents would make reading easier

too, I suppose that they are in "Insert" > "Special characters" on

English keyboards.

All said, here goes:

"The spouses

are (duly) informed that the Notaries' tarif includes a fee which is

proportional to the value of the first-to-die's property,  (as

mentioned?) on the conventions of inequal distribution of the community

(property) such as that of full attribution to the surviving spouse,

mentioned in the present contract. These fees will be payable upon the

death of the first-to-die".

This is a private matter and I'd

rather give you a simplified summary of the translation in person (not

in public). If you'd like a "simplification" please contact me in

person.

I hope this helps for starters,

Peter
