This is particularly important if they are invested in equities , or similar as capital gains on these are now heavily taxed in France(31%). Over the period of your move to France put the proceeds in a high interest instant access account , either in UK or off-shore. When in France , if you wish to continue with the same sort of investments , with tax advantages , and (as you will find important in France) succession advantages, look into french life assurance plans . The best and least expensive (no entry fees and low (0.60% ) management fees), are those accessed online.** eg. Fortuneo, Linxea, Boursama--you can look at their websites now.
