International Trust and Estate Law

International Trust and Estate Law governs how property, assets, and estates are managed, transferred, and taxed across different countries. It ensures that a person's assets are properly handled according to their wishes, even when they involve multiple jurisdictions. This area of law addresses issues like cross-border inheritance, tax implications, legal recognition of trusts, and succession planning. It aims to resolve conflicts between varying national laws, providing clarity and protection for individuals and beneficiaries involved in international estate matters.
