Save hours

Why couples buy it

It does not replace free guides or professional advice. It gives you a more condensed, decision-oriented way to prepare, prioritize, and spend your time more intelligently.

What's inside

A concise paid companion built around real decisions

There is no filler here. The premium handbook is designed to help French-American couples move from scattered research to a more deliberate plan.

Chapter 1

Start Here Roadmap

A compact order-of-operations view for the decisions that usually pile up first: status, tax setup, documents, banking, and next professional steps.

Chapter 2

Taxes Across Two Countries

Practical guidance on the US-France Tax Treaty, FBAR and FATCA obligations, Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, and how to avoid paying tax twice on the same income.

Chapter 3

Legal Status & Paperwork

Marriage recognition, PACS implications for US residents, visa sequencing, document apostilles, and what to do if your status changes.

Chapter 4

Inheritance & Estate Planning

French forced heirship and how it affects American assets, Brussels IV elections, assurance-vie strategy, and cross-border will basics.

Chapter 5

Paperwork Checklists

The recurring documents and admin tasks couples keep rediscovering too late — gathered into one practical reference you can return to each year.

Chapter 6

Professional Handoff Notes

A way to walk into a paid consultation already organized, so the expensive hour goes to strategy instead of background explanation.

Who it's for

Buy it if you want a faster, calmer starting point

You are moving from the US to France or from France to the US and need to prioritize what comes first.

You are newly married or planning a PACS/marriage and want the downstream tax and legal implications in view.

You are trying to stop paying for the same confusion twice: once in lost time and again in professional fees.

Why it saves time and money

It cuts down hours of forum-searching and contradictory government-page rabbit holes.

It helps you avoid paying professionals to explain the basics you can organize beforehand.

It reduces costly sequencing mistakes, like filing, visa, banking, or estate decisions in the wrong order.

Important disclaimer

Bordure Premium Handbook is an informational resource only. It does not replace individualized legal, tax, financial, or immigration advice. Use it to get organized, understand the landscape, and prepare for decisions. For advice tied to your exact facts, use a qualified professional in the relevant jurisdiction.

This guide saved us hours with our accountant — we walked in knowing the right questions instead of starting from zero.

Claire & Tom, Lyon

We were completely lost about FBAR. Chapter 2 alone was worth the $49 — clearer than anything we'd found online.

Amélie & James, Paris → Boston

The inheritance chapter opened our eyes to a real risk we had no idea existed. We immediately updated our estate plan.

Frequently asked questions

Is this updated for 2025?

Yes. The handbook reflects the current US-France Tax Treaty provisions, 2025 FBAR thresholds, and updated French succession rules including the Brussels IV regulation.

Is this relevant if we live in the US?

Absolutely. A significant portion of the handbook — including US tax filing requirements, FBAR/FATCA obligations, and inheriting French assets — applies directly to Franco-American couples based in the United States.

Do I need a lawyer to use this?

No. The handbook is written in plain language for non-specialists. It is designed to help you understand your situation and prepare for professional consultations, not to replace them.

Is this a physical book?

No, it is a digital handbook delivered immediately after purchase. You can read it on any device — no app required.

What if it's not useful for my situation?

We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If the handbook does not provide value for your situation, contact us at bordure@nanocorp.app and we will issue a full refund, no questions asked.
