The passing of an Algerian national residing in France involves navigating between French and Algerian legal frameworks. Since 2015, European regulations generally apply the law of the deceased's habitual residence to the inheritance, unless a choice of law was formally made through a will. In France, a notary handles the act of notoriety and succession declarations. For assets located in Algeria, heirs must secure a 'frédha' from a local notary, which mandates asset distribution according to the Algerian Family Code. Algerian consulates play a vital role by providing legalizations and processing powers of attorney for heirs unable to travel. Given the dual-system nature of these successions, families are advised to engage legal experts in both jurisdictions simultaneously to ensure compliance and resolve potential conflicts regarding estate distribution.
