Hi Will,
It's quite strange that your friend does not want to leave his assets to his kids...But it is possible to do so in two ways provided the assets are located in France and are real estate assets:
1) By a French will one can give the legal reminding of his asset to who ever they wish. But the French law garantees a fair share of anyone's assets to their kids.
2) By setting up a SCI (Societe Civile Immobiliere) with the persons that your friend want to give his assets to.
In both situations your friend must get assistance from a "notaire" to avoid infringing the law and being sued by his own kids!!!
