Writing a will - which country is it best to follow the laws of?

Question

My wife and I are French but live in Belgium. From what I have read we can choose which country our (yet unwritten) will follows the laws of. Has any body got any advice on whether it should be Belgium or France?

J

Belgium. As Belgian tax laws will apply on the succession.
See a notary. It's well worth the cost.
