Probate Overseas - Foreign Wills
There is an increasing number of people from the United Kingdom who leave the country and or buy property overseas leaving assets in the United Kingdom.
If you do have assets in two or more countries you are unlikely to change your domicile status, in other words you will remain a UK citizen. In life and death and of course for tax purposes you will remain a UK citizen.
As a UK citizen you may need an English Will and a Foreign Will. If you do have assets overseas and in the UK we can help, we can provide you with an overseas
willwriting service that integrates with your foreign will.
In addition if you have a loved one who has passed away owning assets in two countries we can also help. The authorities in different countries do not generally use the same terminology as the UK. Here we refer to
probate and a
grant of probate. Or where there is no will we refer to a letters of administration, however overseas there are several different expressions such as notice of succession. These are tantamount to the same thing, you still have a legal process to go through to claim the assets of a deceased person.
From France to Spain or Dubai to Australia and between we can help with the legal process of probate and estate administration.
In addition to the
overseas probate services we can provide we are also able to assist if you have overseas stocks and shares in the United States of America and you require the Medallion Stamp Guarantee
