How we can help
As our world evolves, the ability of an individual to live, work or invest abroad becomes easier. With families becoming more internationally diverse, the result is that an increasing amount of individuals own assets in more than one jurisdiction.
Our firm is home to a dedicated team of international probate solicitors that specialise exclusively in international estate cases. If you are an executor, administrator or beneficiary responsible for dealing with foreign assets, our international estate lawyers are here to help you to navigate the foreign legal requirements.
How our international estate solicitors assist with you?
Our international estate lawyers have specialised in this area for decades and we are proud to offer a wealth of expertise and contacts. When attending to foreign assets, you may find that you have to comply with complicated foreign laws and taxes, and there may also be a language barrier. We are familiar with the requirements of foreign courts and asset companies throughout the majority of countries throughout the world. We are often able to attend to the administration of a foreign asset directly from our office.
For foreign domiciled estates, our Probate Solicitors frequently handle applications for probate in the UK and adjacent regions. If you would like to obtain a quote, please email our international estate lawyers with the following key information:
- The country where the deceased has passed away;
- The type of foreign assets, for example, land, stocks and shares, investment funds or bank accounts;
- The country in which the assets are located;
- The approximate value of the assets, which will then provide us with an indication as to whether inheritance tax or a foreign estate tax may be applicable.
Our international estate solicitors specialise in the administration of estates that have an overseas element.
