French law · Prepare your case, step by step
Prepare to dissolve a French association
Voluntary dissolution of a French association should follow its bylaws and address its assets and outstanding commitments. The decision does not automatically close contracts, accounts or employment relationships. Prepare an inventory and identify who will handle each operation. Special regimes and grants need additional checks; this organiser does not carry out liquidation or complete the required notifications.
