Françoise Hardy spoke about her will
In 2011, Françoise Hardy spoke about her succession. She then declared: “I wrote my will few years ago. I hope to leave Thomas with enough to pay the exorbitant inheritance fees that will be demanded of him, as well as the charges that a studio and an apartment where very close friends live will cost him. I have to live in the present. To think that sooner or later I will have to leave the people I love most in the world, to imagine their pain, this makes me cry. I avoid as much as possible“.
On the set of Do not touch My TVFabien Lecoeuvre declared that the singer had given, before her death, the
bare ownership from his apartments to his son. This real estate would have a value of 6 million euros according to the columnist. This decision would therefore allow Thomas Dutronc to be owner of the walls and not to pay inheritance tax on these assets.
