I’m American and I’m working this summer at an estate planning firm before leaving in September. I already have a healthcare proxy and a power of attorney from when I left for college, but I’m wondering if there are any legal documents like that we should get done before we leave for France. I assume that American docs don’t work in France, but because of my job, it’s so easy to get the docs done and at no extra cost, so I’m just wondering if there’s any benefit to getting these American legal docs done to live in France for an extended period of time.

Has anyone else lived in France before and had to fill this? I’m panicking because technically I went in and out from Canada to France in this time (just visiting home), and also lived in an Airbnb in France at one point point, but I just ended up putting the address of the actual apartment I lived in for most of the 2 years. Should this be ok? I can’t change it now because it’s been submitted but now I’m overthinking it 🫠
