Good to know, there are several types of lawyers in France. For prenuptial agreements you need to to go to a notary. It is an assermented lawyer that keep records of contracts. You'll need a notary to buy or sell real estate, to register your will, as a trusted third party to sign contacts, to deposit company status and many others legal stuffs. In the case prenuptial agreement, it will advise you to write the best possible contract.
me and my spouse got married in Korea, he's French and I'm from the US, the agent at the French embassy basically told us to go to France and sign a contrat de mariage before we got married in Korea so that France's laws concerning marriage trumped both Korea and the US, I had know idea why the agent told us that we should do it till I found out how different marriage laws in France were to Korea and the US, and since we were settling in France it's obvious why now we were told that.
That does make a lot of sense, especially if you’ll be living that country! I was so young, I didn’t even consider the full extent of the legal commitment that marriage is and consider myself very lucky that things have worked out as well as they did!
Now I'm super curious! What are the main differences between French and American inheritance laws, or the ones that stood out for you? No judgement of value over here, just a French dating an American!
