Families are spread all over the world these days. As a result of globalization, we all live much more internationally than was the case around 100 years ago. What we might not like to hear: We also die much more “internationally”…
In our practice we often have clients who are heirs, but the testator and assets are abroad. Assets and real estate are often spread around the world. From stocks in the USA, to real estate in Spain and company investments in Singapore or Taiwan. In such cases, processing the inheritance can be very complicated – and lengthy – and applying for a certificate of inheritance is certainly only done in very few cases.
Our law firm regularly appears in such international inheritance arrangements. No matter whether the USA, Argentina or Singapore, we will help you with your rights as an heir or legatee. Inheritance tax will be of particular importance here, although some countries, in contrast to Germany, have no inheritance tax.
Contact us without obligation and we will be happy to tell you what to do in your case!
