French inheritance tax on UK Trust?

[fredg]

Hi,

I have ascertained that, for a beneficiary resident in France, French tax is generally not payable on an inheritance from a UK estate.

However, I have also read that Trusts are treated specially in France since 2011.

I am the future beneficiary of a Uk-based Interest in Possession Trust (set-up by my grandfather, capital due to pass to me when my mother dies, both were/are also UK-based).

Does anyone know if the inheritance from the Trust will escape French tax like a normal inheritance, or will it be taxed in in France because it comes from a Trust.

Thanks!!
