Please can someone advise.
Two Brits, resident in France, wish to buy a property together. One of them has two adult children who on death of father would inherit a flat. The problem lies with a not yet bought house and what would happen if the man died and how could the partner ensure that the house would be hers for the rest of her life. As yet the couple are not married but if it helped, then would do so.
Would it be better to have an English will rather than a French one?
The basic problem is that in order to buy the house, they would both need to ask for a mortgage.
Thank you in advance for any helpful suggestions.
