Had Læticia Hallyday was forced to sell Johnny’s last home? With the Savannah assignment for 8 million eurosrevealed by Closer On June 19, she will be able to mop up a good part of the fiscal debts suffering from her illustrious husband. The transaction, signed with a family with children who will move to Marnes-la-Coquette (92) in September, should indeed allow Læticia to escape the taxman from the taxman.

On the tax debt of 36 million euros left by Johnny, his widow has now reimbursed 26 million in France, plus a part in the United States, according to our information. And this, including the 8 million euros from this transfer. Much less than the amount requested during the sale of the property, the month following the singer’s death in January 2018, greater than 30 million euros. Six years later, and in front of the absence of buyers at a revised price at 15 million euros, Læticia had agreed to divide it by three Compared to its starting requirements, at 10.5 million euros. An insufficient cut there again to attract buyers. More than seven years after the opening of the succession of “the idol of young people”, Læticia Hallyday therefore had to resolve to “sell off” the luxurious 1,100 square meter villa built on a plot of almost a hectare, acquired in 1999 for 4.9 million euros.

It must be said that the clock was running for the ex-Mannequin, threatened with a forced sale that could have cost him very dear. “It is relieved of this sale at 8 million euros. Without it, in March 2026, the house was going to be auctioned by the taxman and it would probably be part at a lower price ”entrusts a relative of the Hallyday to Capital.

“The Hallyday house could have been sold much cheaper”

If Læticia Hallyday had been able to negotiate a deadline with the tax services to settle the tax debts of her late husband, the leniency of the taxman was therefore coming to an end. “”For the settlement of inheritance rightsif most of the heritage consists of low liquid assets, such as real estate, payment can be staggered up to three years, with a maximum of seven payments accompanied by interest at the legal rate “explains Nathalie Couzigou-Suhas, notary in Paris. But it is therefore a much longer time than Læticia Hallyday obtained, “For tax debts contracted by Johnny during his lifetime”deduces the expert.

The almost past hourglass, Jade and Joy’s mother was therefore exposed to a major risk, that of a judicial auction ordered by the tax administration. “At the end of the period granted by the tax authorities, and after sending the latter of a formal notice to the debtor, the property can indeed be auctionconfirms Maître Couzigou-Suhas. The judicial sale is the subject of a great publicity for a maximum of buyers to go to court on D -Day ”.

A maximum number of potential buyers… for a final price which can conversely be reduced dramatically. Because unlike a Classic auctionthe judicial component does not provide for reserve prices, only a price defined after the expertise of the property ordered by the court. “This price can correspond to 60% of the estimate of the property. The Hallyday house could therefore have been sold much cheaper ”confirms the Parisian notary. And the balance of Johnny’s tax debts continue to be a heavy burden for Læticia Hallyday.
