Details

Designed for estate planning specialists and financial planners, International Estate Planning covers U.S. legal issues affecting estates, such as taxation, conflict of laws, community property and asset protection trusts.

This publication also provides analysis of selected countries chosen for their importance as potential sites for establishment of trusts or other investment vehicles (e.g., Bermuda and Liechtenstein), and as possible residences for U.S. nationals for business purposes. Each chapter is written by an expert in that country.

·          U.S. estate, gift and income taxation of nonresident aliens

·          U.S. citizens with alien spouses - Qualified Domestic Trusts (QDOTs)

·          U.S. income taxation of foreign trusts

·          Separate chapters on U.S. tax treatment of foreign executives temporarily posted in the United States and of U.S. executives temporarily posted abroad

·          Conflict of laws rules used to determine which country's descent laws and taxes apply to specific dispositions of property

·          Use of trusts to safeguard assets

·          Will drafting for multiple jurisdictions, with suggested forms

·          Effect of treaties on estate planning
