Abstract

Estate planners are accustomed to clients who own property in more than one state and consequently are familiar with the planning exigencies required by the multistate estate. Now, however, estate planners increasingly find themselves encountering clients who own property located outside of the United States, who present multinational planning concerns. This article highlights some factors to consider and problems to avoid when creating an estate plan for a client who owns "foreign" assets.

Keywords: international estate planning, multinational estate planning, property, multinational property, foreign assets, jurisdiction, United States clients, real property, personal property
