Estate perimeter
Locate the assets and gather the existing wills, trusts and ownership records.

International perspective
International Estates
The administration of an international estate needs visibility across documents, assets and local advisers.
Discuss your prioritiesThe wider perspective
Across borders. Around one shared objective.
Cross-border decisions connect local requirements with an international picture. We help identify the jurisdictions, disciplines and specialist responsibilities involved, so that work in one country takes account of what is happening in another.
In focus
A shared estate administration and information map.
See the connections
One decision. A wider impact.
Local requirements are assessed by appropriately qualified providers; one country’s conclusion is not automatically transferable.
We identify the dependencies early, so the relevant professionals can work from a shared understanding of the objective and the information available.
