Whether you want to be able to draft a single will to cover your clients’ worldwide assets or whether you need to draft more than one will to cover your clients’ assets in the UK or abroad, this webinar will help you to understand the inherent dangers and opportunities.

The webinar will cover:

  • essential validity of wills
  • executors in common and civil law jurisdictions

By attending this webinar, you will gain:

  • knowledge of how to avoid adverse cross-border tax consequences for your clients
  • awareness of when to, and when not to use elections and other choices of law
  • confidence to decide when it is appropriate to include your client’s foreign assets in a worldwide will
  • understanding of the checks required to ensure the essential validity of a will devolving overseas assets
