Meloncollie, no we did not. The lawyer drew up a legal document to state we would inherit in full from each other, then our kids would inherit in equal shares when second of us goes. I should check with him about our property and other bits and pieces in the UK, but I'm sure that is included too.

MathNut - I am sure your future children will be fully accepted as citizens- and indeed you - although you'll always be considered a bit 'different' - which many people will like about you. I truly feel I am Swiss, but also British. I chose to become British as well - nobody can take that away from me. In my younger days, I remember people making excuses for me if I said the wrong thing 'oh, but you know, she was not born British' - which was hilarious. (Like when I used the word 'knackered' at a very posh black tie do!). My OH will always have an accent, and will always be loved by all here for his Britishness- but is already totally accepted here. For me having 2 nationalities is a great feeling, no conflict there at all. Although of course there are some aspects of Britishness and Swisness I feel comfortable with, and some not.

Excellent said.

One of the things about having heart and feet firmly in 2 places- is that I spend quite a bit of time trying to fight those absolutely ridiculous sweeping stereotypes - both ways! Some of the stuff I read today on Swiss manners, and other threads, reminded me of this. And of course spent much of time trying to stop Swiss, Europeans, Americans and others I've met/meet - doing the same about Brits.

My consideration was this: In 2 years I will go on the Pension and as I understand it if you want to live in another county other than Switzerland, and still get your full Pension from Switzerland,then you have to be Swiss. Otherwise one only gets half of the Pension. Whether this is correct I dont know. Any ideas.

You lose your eligibility for a flat rate tax arrangement in the future, when you have won the Euromillions jackpot..

But that is what was mentioned in the previous thread. You might be looked at as 'naturalized with migration background' especially here in CH. But I think it would apply to any country. If you read some of the articles in the US too, they often point out when a CEO of a company is 'Lebanese born or Korean born'. The question is more if that should be an issue for folks who change nationality.

Interesting post. I remember talking to someone briefly at an event once. While it was only for a few minutes, it was quite true what this person said in that whenever you going to naturalize you will always never feel 100% anyway in that place. The only way to feel that is where you are born and raised and that too perhaps but that assumption or expectation can be made.

It is the inheritance laws that one should look at closely before taking the decision.
