Scattered families

Nowadays, more and more families are spread across different regions of France, if not all around the world. We have moved away from the old pattern in which the whole family lived in the same town. It is therefore not unusual to find an heir of foreign origin, or one who has simply settled abroad.

Our office operates in France and abroad to search for heirs, locate them, represent them and make sure their rights are defended in the best possible way in the settlement of an estate.
