Your U.S. retirement accounts may remain appropriate after a move to France. Review the transactions you plan to make before changing the accounts themselves.

The French six-out-of-ten-year rule is only the domestic starting point. For a qualifying U.S. inheritance, the estate and gift tax treaty can change the outcome.

Your IFI bill can increase without another property purchase. The final year of newcomer relief is the time to assess the full cost of your existing portfolio.

A closing after your move does not automatically mean French capital gains tax. The property's use, listing history and sale timeline can change the result.
