Title Not Provided: Disposition of the Deceased's Vehicle: Absence of a Will Determines Succession
Dishing the Lowdown on Estate Matters: A Chat with Nathalie Couzigou-Suhas
Hey folks! Welcome back to our show, the "Money Matter's Meeting" (Radio Heritage / our site) where we tackle your cash-related queries alongside our whiz experts - notaries, tax specialists, and transmissionistas! Today, we're talking inheritance with Parisian notary, Nathalie Couzigou-Suhas. She's here to answer Marjorie, who had this conundrum: "My sis just handled our old man's succession, and I'm curious about that jalopy. Is it hers now? Also, she took control of mum in that nursing joint without my say-so, and she's clawing back cash Mom gifted me over a decade ago."
Nathalie weighed in on the four-wheeled family heirloom, asserting, "When it comes to the car of the deceased, our mission as notaries is about following the law and validating the existence of a will, if any. In the event of no will, the vehicle belongs to the estate. Siblings alike will claim 50-50 ownership of the car, and it's down to y'all to agree on the new owner. At the moment, your sis ain't got more right to the ride than you, unless that will spells it out. In the meantime, she can't hop in the driver's seat without your agreement and needs to make sure the wheels are insured to cruise legally."

Moving on to the soap opera with the nursing home and guardianship, Nathalie felt compelled to probe: "If a guardianship has been decreed, it's a judicial action where the guardianship judge selects the person ready to handle the deceased's affairs. Typically, every child ought to be invited to the nomination discussion. It might be a future protection mandate, which doesn't require consultation of the heirs prior to implementation."
Finally, let's talk about the Ehpad-related dough: Nathalie reminded us of the help-the-elderly obligation: "Folks eligible for government support programs to assist the elderly might need to repay these funds from the estate or gifts made within ten years before the support request. Essentially, the State considers the support as a temporary loan, reimbursable if the estate can foot the bill."
Toss in a helping hand, but keep your peepers open: "Aidin' the next gen's groovy, but don't empty the piggy bank and forget future expenses," noting Master Couzigou-Suhas. In summary, buy Marjorie a ticket to the notary's office to straighten out the vehicle, guardianship, and care-for-Mum bills.
