Indivision

Your brother has moved into the inherited house and refuses to sell? In French joint ownership he owes an occupancy payment, you can claim five years of it, and nobody stays stuck: buyout, court-approved sale or judicial division.

Your ex refuses to leave the home after separating in France? Married, in a PACS or unmarried, tenants or owners: who can stay, what the judge decides, why not to change the locks and what changes if there is violence.

Settling an estate means accepting or renouncing, declaring within six months, then leaving joint ownership. The succession option, the reserved share, the surviving spouse's rights, tax and deadlock between heirs.
