About the Program
The glamour of Paris. The beauty of the Swiss Alps. Big Ben ringing in London. The shimmering lights of Tokyo. The family cottage in Canada. Many of our clients, more than you might think, own assets abroad. Estate planning for these clients who hold foreign assets can be tricky and complex. Are the assets held in a common law jurisdiction or a civil law country? Can a trust be used to pass title to these assets to a spouse or heirs? What are the wealth transfer taxes that apply, both here in the U.S. and the country where the assets are located? Does the client need a foreign Will in addition to his or her U.S. estate planning documents? Will the foreign country recognize the U.S. Will that you so carefully crafted for your client? Are the beneficiaries of the foreign assets the same as those of the U.S. assets? Will a transfer tax treaty apply? These are many of the questions and issues you need to grapple with in representing clients who own foreign assets. This program will attempt to provide answers to these questions and a road map of things to consider when advising your clients.
