This can save significant time and legal costs. Swipe to learn more ↩️ Interested in learning if summary judgment might apply to your case? Give our team a call – we are happy to help.

Estate planning is often a challenging process. But for those whose assets span multiple countries, navigating estate planning becomes even more intricate — yet it remains just as vital. Here are a few key considerations for expats and individuals with international connections to keep in mind: ✅ Understand Tax Obligations: Estate planning for expats requires navigating complex tax systems and avoiding double taxation by understanding inheritance laws and tax treaties. ✅ Cross-Border Legal Nuances: U.S. wills and trusts may not be recognized internationally, which may require separate wills, a situs will, or an international will to ensure your wishes are upheld across jurisdictions. ✅ Guardianship and Power of Attorney: U.S. powers of attorney may not be valid abroad, so it can be necessary to appoint local agents or guardians. Working with a notary public can also help authenticate documents, increasing their acceptance internationally and ensuring compliance with local guardianship laws. If you’re an expat or own assets abroad, our team is here to help you navigate these complexities with ease. Reach out to get started!
