Many families in our community have roots and assets in more than one country. Each jurisdiction may have its own rules for wills, inheritance, taxes and probate.
Where to begin
- Inventory assets by country, including land, bank accounts and pensions.
- Ask whether a will made in one country is recognized in another.
- Consider whether local counsel is needed where property is held.
- Keep copies of titles and deeds with translations if needed.
Communication across distance
Distance makes conversations harder — and more important. Schedule a family video call to walk through your plan and share where documents are kept.
