Breakfast talk on International Wills & Testaments

and Estate Law
on Tuesday, February 14th at 7:30AM


Are you a dual citizen of France and the United States? Do you have assets on both sides of the Ocean?
If that is the case, now may be the time to think about organizing your estate.
Between France’s public policy (ordre public), European Union regulations, federal and state law, drafting a will and testament which can be applicable in both France and the United States could be challenging.
Come learn the basic principles of estate law
and get the answers you need!
