About the Webinar
In an increasing small world and as a nation of many immigrants, Australian residents are more commonly holding overseas assets or leaving their domestic assets to family members in another country. This situation creates some complex and challenging problems in estate planning. This session will examine appropriate advice to give clients in such situations, including:
- Sorting out the facts – residency, domicile and asset location
- Does asset location or will-maker location determine where a will should be made?
- Strategies for avoiding a conflict of laws
- Taxation and administrative consequences when dealing with assets and beneficiaries outside the jurisdiction
- The problem of non-resident executors
- The application of international conventions and treaties
- When to seek advice from overseas experts
- What can go wrong will go wrong: cases and examples
