U.S. Estate Planning for Non-Citizens
Estate taxes under the U.S. tax code are assessed to all residents both citizens and non citizens after death. U.S. citizens are, however, treated differently than non-U.S. citizens in one critical respect. A surviving spouse, who is a U.S. citizen, may receive without limit, all property of a deceased spouse without the imposition of estate taxes.
Our firm specializes in unique legal services to provide you with comprehensive estate planning, including what we refer to as the Qualified Domestic Trust, designed to ensure that both spouses, no matter their citizenship status, receive the benefits of the marital deduction which will avoid premature payment of taxes and the unnecessary liquidation of family assets.
