International Estate Planning
What Is International Estate Planning?
Estate planning is a complicated task on its own, and accounting for international matters doesn’t make anything easier. When you own assets or property overseas or wish to leave your estate to non-citizen relatives or those living outside of the U.S., there are important matters you should take time to consider.
Learn more about international estate planning today. Contact our team at Castro & Co. by calling (833) 227-8761 or reach out to us online.
Some of these matters include considerations such as:
- How do I prepare an international will?
- Do treaty countries impact my estate planning efforts?
- Can the federal estate tax be deferred for my non-citizen spouse?
- How can I protect my estate from unnecessary taxation before immigrating to the U.S.?
It’s OK to not know the answers to these questions or even how to begin planning your estate on an international level. You should, however, seek these answers by reaching out to an international estate planning attorney who has the qualifications and experience necessary to assist you.
At Castro & Co., our attorneys can help you with these matters as we’ve done for many clients with estates like yours or who have been in similar situations.
