An International Approach to Estate Planning and Administration
Today, it is not unusual for a person to be a citizen of one country, a resident of another and a property owner in a third. This global approach to life makes effective estate planning and estate administration essential.
The attorneys of Ferman Law in London have more than 30 years of experience drafting wills and representing clients with complex international estate administration needs. We are U.S. lawyers who have been practicing in England since 1981, representing clients from around the world.
-
Are you the executor of an estate for a deceased family member who owned property in the United States or is the deceased a U.S. citizen or permanent resident? In either case, we can assist you in obtaining the necessary Transfer Certificate from the Internal Revenue Service. Where necessary, we can help you transfer title of the property through the relevant American probate court and prepare and file U.S. estate tax return. A British solicitor cannot do this for you.
-
Are you a beneficiary of a U.S. Estate or one that has US assets? We can assist you to ascertain and obtain your inheritance.
- Do you want an estate plan that preserves your assets and minimizes the tax consequences of inheritance for your heirs? We will draft a will that distributes your assets according to your wishes and reduces taxes as much as possible.
Our estate planning and international estate administration services include:
- Preparing a practical and effective will
- Transferring ownership of assets (wherever these may be located) to the estate's beneficiaries
- Maximizing the benefits of international estate tax treaties
- Minimizing the impact of inheritance taxation
- Liaising with tax officials and practitioners in each particular country involved
