Hi
I am in an IVA and my parents want to buy me a small property in France, looking toward my future retirement.
Is this a problem and would I be able to open a French bank account?

Take advice from your IP about this but I would reccomend that this not be done prior to the expiry of your IVA as this may be deemed a windfall.

Hi
It could be seen as an after acquired asset and fall into your IVA.You will need to take specific legal advise on this one,it may be that ownership only transfers to you after the IVA is finished.

As the other experts have mentioned, I think the best way forward is to contact your I.P and get there advice. Your parents may have to buy the property in their name and then transfer it over to your once your IVA is complete.
