Non-Citizens Owning Property in the U.S.
Some commonly used tools in estate planning are only available to U.S. citizens. If you own property in the U.S. but are not a citizen, you face certain obstacles regarding gifting, estate taxes and more. With foresight and proper planning, these obstacles can be overcome. Our attorneys have extensive experience dealing with these issues.
U.S. Citizens Who Own Foreign Property
More and more United States citizens are buying property in other countries to serve as investments, vacation homes, bases for conducting business and a multitude of other reasons. We can assist you with various issues to protect the value of this property in the future when gifting it, selling it or otherwise transferring it.
Personal, Individualized Service
Our attorneys provide focused, individualized service for both domestic and international estate planning. We will work with you over the course of years as your estate continues to mature and evolve. As a mid-sized law firm, our lawyers get to know our clients and our clients get to know the lawyer handling their case. We are very sensitive to the nuanced differences that set each case apart from the crowd.
