What Julie FROUMESSOL offers English speakers in Nice

Julie Froumessol took over the practice her father Patrick Froumessol built, at Palais Lamartine on Rue Lamartine in Nice, and a noticeable share of the clients describing her are people who used him first and stayed. The work is property and family law: sales, purchases, chained sale-and-purchase transactions, successions and identity verification. English is confirmed by clients who used it throughout, one of whom needed the sale of a property in the UK completed at short notice and got it.

The name to know here is Mireille Polacci. She is the clerc de notaire, the qualified legal clerk who prepares the acts and runs the file day to day, and she appears in more of these accounts than the notaire does. That is normal in French practice and worth understanding: the clerc is usually who you actually deal with, and the quality of that person shapes the experience more than the name on the letterhead. Clients describe her as proactive rather than merely responsive, telling them what was coming next before they had to ask. The hardest file in the record ran over three years: a succession with five beneficiaries spread across two countries, complicated further by the language, and Froumessol held it to the end. Louis Jay handles some files alongside her.
