Overview
Domestic estate planners more and more frequently encounter international fact patterns: non citizens who reside in or spend time in the United States or are considering moving here; U.S. persons who receive gifts from foreign persons, U.S. citizens living abroad or owning foreign assets; US citizens who marry citizens or residents of other countries. The U.S. tax and other laws in the cross-border area differ significantly from the domestic U.S. rules. This course will review basic concepts and frequently encountered fact patterns in international estate planning involving U.S. citizens and residents.
