A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets should be distributed after your death and can designate guardians for minor children. In contrast, a trust is a legal arrangement where a trustee holds and manages assets on behalf of beneficiaries, which can take effect during your lifetime or upon your passing. While both serve to distribute your assets, they differ in terms of when they take effect, how they are managed, and the legal processes they follow.

Prenuptial agreement

Prenuptial agreement

Regarding French Law, prenuptial or marital property agreement is a legal document drawn up between a couple before their marriage to manage their assets and the type of marital agreement they want.

This is sometimes difficult to understand as even if prenuptial agreement are a common thing in other countries, choosing the right type of agreement does not exist in Common Law.
Legal consequences depending on the type of agreement are finally understood and lead to arguments when spouses decide to get an international divorce. This is also true when expats were not aware of their marital agreement and the law does not correspond to their culture.
