Handling International Estates

Globalization has made cross-border estate planning increasingly common. However, handling multi-jurisdictional estates can be highly complex due to differences in legal systems, tax regulations, and inheritance laws.

Challenges of Multi-Jurisdictional Estates

• Different probate laws in each country

• Foreign taxes on inheritance

• Currency and banking complexities

• Locating and transferring overseas assets

Expert Multi-Jurisdictional Estate Administration

At Ammonite Executor Services, we specialize in cross-border estate management, ensuring compliance with international regulations while preserving your wealth.

Owning assets across multiple countries can significantly delay the administration and finalisation of a worldwide estate. The best way to minimise these delays is through proactive planning and expert guidance—before the estate is triggered by your passing.

When an executor is well-prepared with detailed information about offshore assets—including account numbers, current valuations, and key contact persons—the process of managing a cross-border estate becomes far more efficient.

At Ammonite Executor Services, our global experience and network of trusted contacts enable us to assist executors in navigating complex estate matters. With our support, subtle but critical adjustments can be made to your estate plan in advance, helping to address potential complications such as forced heirship rules, probate delays, and unclaimed or unmanaged assets.

If you’re an executor—whether seasoned or new to the role - and discover that the estate you are responsible for includes offshore assets, don’t wait. Contact the experts at Ammonite Executor Services for specialised assistance in managing this intricate and often time-consuming process.
