International Inheritance Cases

International gifts and inheritance cases involve numerous legal, tax, and financial considerations. Varying inheritance law systems, risks of double taxation, and divergent regulations in foreign jurisdictions make estate administration particularly challenging. Assets located in multiple countries require detailed planning to minimise tax exposure and avoid legal uncertainty.
Lack of proper arrangements or insufficient tax planning can lead to unexpected inheritance tax liabilities, delays in estate administration, or even legal disputes. Early and comprehensive advice is therefore essential.
