Why You Need an Attorney’s Help

When your estate plan covers multiple jurisdictions in the United States as well as different countries’ legal systems, you need to ensure that your estate plan accounts for the law everywhere it may come into play.

However, it’s important to remember that an estate plan covering assets in different countries must be tailored to the rules, laws, and expectations of the probate courts in each country. Depending on the countries involved, you may not need to change your plan substantially. Alternatively, your estate planning attorney may have to coordinate with overseas experts to ensure that your legacy is safe from excess taxation or conflicting statutes.

An international estate planning firm can help you decide your best course of action.
