Every fortnight, the "Money Matters Express" (our site / Radio Antiques) provides a platform for herds of listeners like Marjorie, unraveling financial mysteries and offering clarity on money management. Featuring specialists from various fields - notaries, fiscal advisers, probate specialists - they create a genial, layman-friendly environment to alleviate economic conundrums. In today's segment, Nathalie Couzigou-Suhas, an esteemed Parisian notary, navigates the waters of inheritance and the commandments that inform an individual's share of an estate. Marjorie's inquiry, which reads as follows, grabs our notary host's attention:
"My dear sibling has recently commenced our father's succession with a notary. I can't help but question, whose hands does the vehicle belong to now, and can my sister drive it without consent? Furthermore, my mother resides in an Ehpad, my sister nabbed guardianship without my consent, and insists on reclaiming funds that our parents bestowed upon me more than a decade ago."
On the Whims of the Deceased: The Mystery of the Vehicle
Regarding the vehicle owned by Marjorie's late father, our darling host explains:"The notary's role revolves around having a keen sense of justice and confirming the existence of a will. In the shadow of a will, our trusty vehicle's ownership resides within the estate. In the absence of a will, each heir possesses half-ownership over the vehicle, necessitating agreement on its allocated owner. In the interim, our vivacious sister may partake in the vehicle's usage only if they secure the according agreement and assure the vehicle's proper insurance coverage."
Clearing the Air: Marjorie needs to confer with the Notary
Regarding the conundrum of guardianship, Nathalie Couzigou-Suhas maintains a skeptical demeanor:"If guardianship has been introduced, it is deemed as a legal, judicial act granting the judge of guardianships the authority to assign an individual capable of managing the deceased's affairs. Normally, Marjorie would've been duly summoned to participate in this nomination deliberation. It could be the heralding of a future care plan, which may not necessitate the consultation of the heirs prior to implementation."
Lastly, in regards to the Ehpad's financial due, our master host recalls the canonical principle of alimentary obligation:"Various local aids are available for senior care, although these aids are recoverable from the proceeds of the succession or donations made within ten years prior to the aid request. The Stateviews these aids as transitory allocations, which may be repaid if the succession's assets make it possible."
Charity Begins at Home: Pre-emptive Financial Counsel
"Whilst it's heartwarming to lend a hand to the younger generations, it's essential to ensure one's nest egg isn't placed in jeopardy and future costs are anticipated", our faithful host implores. Thus, Marjorie should engage in dialogue with the notary administering the succession to decipher her dilemmas regarding the vehicle, guardianship, and the recovery of the Ehpad's financial aid.
