Inherited & Family Property in France and French Polynesia
Advice on inherited, jointly owned and family property
I advise owners and heirs on property held within a family or inherited through an estate, including situations involving multiple owners or unresolved succession issues.
I assist where ownership needs to be regularised, where the owners wish to divide or sell the property, or where a disagreement prevents the matter from moving forward.
My practice includes matters involving family property in French Polynesia, particularly where some of the owners or heirs live overseas.

Family Property in French Polynesia and Overseas Owners
Family property in French Polynesia can involve complex ownership situations, including estates that have not been fully settled, numerous heirs, longstanding co-ownership or owners living outside the territory.
I assist heirs and owners in clarifying the legal position of the property and, depending on the circumstances, facilitating its continued ownership, division or sale.
Where some owners live overseas, the matter can be handled remotely and coordinated with the notaire and other professionals involved.
- estates that need to be regularised before a property can be sold
- identifying and establishing the rights of heirs
- property owned by numerous family members
- disagreement over whether property should be retained or sold
- division or termination of joint ownership
- owners or heirs living outside French Polynesia
- legal preparation for the sale of family property
Disputes Between Co-owners and Ending Joint Ownership
Joint ownership can become difficult where the owners disagree about the use of the property, whether it should be retained or sold, or the terms on which it should be divided.
I advise co-owners on their rights and assist in seeking a practical solution to the dispute, by agreement where possible or through court proceedings where necessary.
- amicable division of jointly owned property
- ending a co-ownership arrangement
- disagreement over the sale or retention of property
- court-ordered division where an amicable solution cannot be reached
