Resealing UK Probate In France
If you are an executor of an estate that includes assets in France, you must validate your authority before you handle these assets. It is not possible to reseal a UK Grant of Probate in France, as the Colonial Probates Act of 1892 applies only to Commonwealth countries. Instead, the UK Grant of Representation must be submitted to and formalised by a French Notaire in accordance with the French succession process. The Grant must be legalised with an apostille from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), and translated.
Does This Apply to all French assets?
Dealing with assets in France legally requires a UK grant that has been fully legalised and translated, as well as the ensuing French notarial documents. However, in certain situations, the Notaire’s involvement may not be required immediately, as institutions holding very low-value assets may occasionally release them without going through the entire process. However, high-value assets, including any immovable property (real estate), in France always require this entire process.
