In today’s world, our lives are diversified not only by types of assets, but also by the jurisdictions where these assets are located. Does ownership of an asset give you your own rights and how can we transfer this capital to heirs without causing them headaches? What rules will govern the inheritance of these assets? The simplest solution might be to draft a will for each individual foreign asset located in its respective country. To create this document, you usually don’t need to travel; in most cases, it can be done at a consulate without the other party’s presence. The key is to plan how to transfer this information to your family in the event of an emergency. Keep in mind that inheritance can be a lengthy and costly process, and until it is finalized, your heirs will have limited access to the assets. This poses a risk of improper management, potentially leading to asset loss. Additionally, inheritance may be subject to high taxes in the relevant country, adding to the financial burden.
