Henley & Partners give professional advice essential to the succession planning of clients who own assets in other jurisdictions than the jurisdiction where they are resident. This involves the highly complex areas of international private law and tax law. International estate planning requires both careful and professional attention to ensure that the wishes of the client are fulfilled.
- Diane by Rodin
Without proper advice, not only at the outset but each time a client's situation changes, matrimonial, succession and tax problems may arise. And unless professional advice is sought at an early stage, multi-jurisdictional succession and inheritance tax problems can arise on death. The law of one jurisdiction may well override another with unintended and perhaps disastrous consequences. At worst a client's wishes may be defeated, the estate subjected to considerable taxes, and heirs faced with long running and complex problems to resolve. Without appropriate arrangements, taxes payable upon a persons death can greatly diminish a family's wealth. There are, however, numerous methods available to reduce, avoid or defer estate and income taxes. These can include wills, trusts and foundations, gifts, charitable contributions, life insurance and annuities, and other international financial instruments.
