Working Languages: Guidance and Procedures


"Borders are fading away. Rights, however, remain deeply rooted in each territory."

That is precisely where the difficulty lies—and where expert guidance is needed. A French-American couple getting a divorce with assets on two continents, a family moving to Indonesia, an estate spanning Paris and Tunis: these situations are no longer exceptions.

OUR INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE

Expertise built on
more than 20 years of experience
in France and abroad.

Throughout her career, Maître Khebour-Perrin has handled numerous cases with an international dimension—cross-border divorces, multi-country estates, assets scattered across multiple countries, and parental abductions. It is this deep, firsthand experience that forms the foundation of KIRA’s international expertise. For each case, she assembles the team it deserves. You have a single point of contact. She coordinates the rest.

THE REALITIES OF TODAY'S FAMILIES

These situations are becoming increasingly common,
and the issues involved are often misunderstood.

I.

Mixed-Race Couples

Two nationalities, two legal systems. From the moment the couple forms a relationship, they must plan ahead regarding the law applicable to their matrimonial property regime and inheritance.

II.

Expat Families

A job transfer, moving abroad. Every change of residence has implications for the marital property regime, taxation, and the children’s situation.

III.

Cross-Border Heritage Sites

As soon as assets cross borders, the issue of applicable law and tax optimization becomes central—and urgent.

IV.

International Inheritance Cases

The death of a relative living abroad gives rise to a particularly complex estate that requires planning well in advance.
