Inheritance Laws in France Napoleon sorted out a lot of things, many of which are the basis of French legislation today - possibly the most tenacious are the laws relating to property and inheritance. All children have an irrevocable right to inherit from their parents, this explains why flying over French farmland the millions of tiny irregular fields as the land had to be divided and sub-divided generation after generation. France is also famous for stringent taxation laws - but luckily France also has a culture of resilience and confrontation so many options are available to share and divide property and wealth so a family can maintain its “patrimoine”. If you are buying property in France it is very important to seek good advice relating to your own specific circumstances and wishes. In many cases this cannot be altered (without large expenses) after the purchase.
