Dear Jean-Baptiste,
My friend met an Italian man 3 years ago. They were not free for a relationship at the time. A month ago they got back in touch and he invited in Italy for a weekend. According to her, the weekend went really well, good sex, good laughs. He cooke dfor her and took her to Venice as a surprise. She got back really happy. She has not heard from him yet, 3 weeks later. So the question is: how do you really see if a man fancies you?

I wish to buy a French property as a 'joint tenant' with my wife who lives in Australia, such that, when I die, the property is not included in my estate, but goes directly to my wife without paying stamp duty, or distributed to my children via the code. How can I do this?

It's a question about French wills, and what happens about our property in France (owned with a mortgage in Ireland and in my wife's name since 2003) if one of us or even both die. The reason we placed the appartment in my wife's name was because we understood that if something happened to us, the property would be passed to her side of the family first. We would like to make a French will to tidy our own and the family issues and do not know how to proceed. Can you help?

Bonjour Guillaume,
My husband and I are both Australians who have been living in France for almost 4 years. We have temporary residency. We own a property here. Do we need to make a will here in France as well as Australia? What would happen to our assets here if we were both to die? Thank you for your assistance.
Regards, Donna

Hi Expert,

My fiancée and I want to move to France. He is currently an US citizen and living there. I am from the Netherlands. Knowing that I can just move the question is: what are his options. How do we apply for a long term visa and what are our possibilities? What are the requirements to get a long term visa? Is there any websites that may give me more information?

Regards,
Claudia
