Notaries: Secure Every Legal Step

Through Haven in France, clients:

• Avoid legal and cultural misunderstandings

• Receive professional counsel on French property laws, wills, and estate planning for international residents

• Enjoy streamlined property transactions and legal matters handled with complete discretion

French property purchases, inheritance planning, and contract signing require more than translation, they demand legal and cultural fluency.

Our trusted bilingual notaries are selected for their extensive experience with International clients and ability to guide Americans through French law complexities.

Thanks to our exclusive banking partnerships, clients:

• Open accounts quickly and remotely via pre-established relationships

• Access multi-currency options (USD, CAD, GBP, EUR) for flexible fund management

Health Insurance: Visa Compliance & Peace of Mind 

Through our vetted insurance partners, clients:

• Obtain visa-compliant coverage ready for submission

• Transition smoothly to high-quality mutuelle once receiving a French social security card

• Access flexible options for private hospitals, specialists, and English-speaking doctors

A long-stay visa (LTV) requires 12-month international health insurance. Once settled and your Carte Vitale is received, you’ll need complementary coverage (mutuelle) to fully benefit from France’s national health system.

We make certain clients receive better healthcare access, lower costs, and greater peace of mind, all simplified from day one.

Through our broker network, we help clients:
