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.
A lump sum or income for your partner and children if you pass away.
France's most popular savings vehicle, with valuable tax and inheritance advantages.
A way to pass on wealth to the people you choose, in a tax-efficient manner.
Loan protection (assurance emprunteur) so a property is not a burden left to your family.
Dedicated cover to take the financial pressure of funeral costs off your loved ones.
Guidance for expats whose beneficiaries, assets or heirs are in more than one country.
Local cover
For expats putting down roots around Saintes, French inheritance rules and assurance vie can work very differently from what you knew at home. We explain how beneficiaries are named and how assurance vie can help pass on assets to the people you choose, so your planning reflects your family across borders.
