French Notaires

A public officer responsible to the Ministry of Justice. They have to ensure that all the requirements of French Law are satisfied, and that all taxes are paid. They cannot advice you and you should consider engaging your own solicitor. When you buy a property in France the money is always paid directly to the Notary, not the vendor. Title deeds must also be signed in front of a Notary.

We cannot advice on reliability of the information gathered here. Please take proper legal advice before signing anything. If you find any other web site please let us know
