Olivares-Vives Marie-Claude

What Olivares-Vives Marie-Claude offers English speakers in Nice

This is a notaire office on Rue Caffarelli in central Nice, working under Marie-Claude Olivares-Vives with several notaires and collaborators carrying files alongside her. A notaire is the public official who draws up and registers property sales, successions (inheritance settlements) and similar acts in France, and clients here arrive mainly through a purchase, a sale or an estate to settle.

An English-speaking client recommends the office specifically for large transactions and difficult cases, which is the situation where asking a precise question and getting a precise answer in your own language is worth the most. Other reviewers name individual notaires in the office for property work and for taking the time to explain the frais de notaire (the fees and transfer taxes paid at completion, most of which go to the state rather than to the notaire). The record is genuinely split, though. Alongside those accounts sit several describing unanswered emails, files that ran for months without a signing date, and a succession handled badly. Read the recent reviews, and settle who your point of contact will be before you commit to anything.
