What CALIFORNIE NOTAIRES - Me Laure DEREY et Me Elisa MAROT offers English speakers in Cannes

The reason to look at this Cannes office is that Laure Derey and Elisa Marot read the paperwork rather than processing it. Derey found that common parts of a building had been annexed without the co-owners' approval, before her client bought into it. On a separate file the pair raised a servitude, a right of way or similar burden attached to the land, that neither the sellers nor the seller's own notaire had disclosed. Both are the kind of problem that surfaces years later at the owner's expense, and neither would have been caught by somebody simply checking the deed was correctly drafted.

One client met Marot at an English-speaking networking event, asked what making a French will actually involves, and came away with a registered one after both notaires researched her international position and answered the same questions twice without making her feel awkward about it. Another had a cross-border inheritance explained in English, with the relevant provisions translated for her. They also work a long way beyond Cannes: an apartment in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, a Montpellier-based buyer handled entirely by phone and video, and several completions closed remotely for people who never came to the office. Derey is the more recent arrival of the two and is credited with unblocking a file that had been drifting for too long elsewhere. There are no complaints in the record at all.
