With our English-friendly service, you'll receive clear guidance and support throughout the process, making it easy to choose the right coverage for your family's future.
Your cover
In France, life cover has two sides: protection for your family if the worst happens, and assurance vie, a flexible savings and inheritance tool. We help you choose the right balance for your situation.
A lump sum or income for your partner and children if you pass away, so they can stay in their home and keep their plans.
France's most popular savings vehicle, combining investment growth with valuable tax and inheritance advantages.
A way to pass on wealth to the people you choose, in a tax-efficient manner suited to cross-border families.
Loan protection (assurance emprunteur) so a property in France is not a burden left to your family.
Dedicated cover to take the financial pressure of funeral costs off your loved ones at a difficult time.
Guidance for expats whose beneficiaries, assets or heirs are in more than one country.
