Global Estate Planning

For internationally mobile professionals holding assets across multiple countries, a single-jurisdiction estate plan is rarely sufficient. Laws governing inheritance, asset transfer, and succession vary significantly between jurisdictions – and what is legally binding in one country may be unenforceable in another.

Carey Suen’s global estate planning service ensures your wishes are protected, your beneficiaries are provided for, and your assets transfer efficiently – regardless of where you reside or where your wealth is held.

A well-structured estate is the most important gift you can leave the people you love.

Why You Need This

Most expatriates significantly underestimate the complexity of their estate. Without a properly structured cross-border plan, the wrong jurisdiction’s laws may apply, your beneficiaries may face lengthy legal processes, and significant portions of your wealth may be lost to unnecessary tax exposure.

Carey Suen closes these gaps before they become a problem for the people you care about most.

What We Cover

Carey Suen’s estate planning service covers the full spectrum of cross-border wealth protection:

  • Cross-border wills enforceable across multiple jurisdictions
  • Trust structures for asset protection and controlled wealth transfer
  • Powers of attorney across multiple legal systems
  • Succession planning for smooth, efficient wealth transfer
  • Tax planning across jurisdictions of residence and asset holding
  • Beneficiary planning consistent with your current wishes

How It Works

Every estate planning engagement begins with a full review of your current arrangements – existing wills, asset locations, beneficiary designations, and jurisdictions of residence. Carey Suen will identify gaps, assess risks, and outline the most appropriate structure for your situation.

Once your situation is fully understood, Carey Suen works with specialist legal partners across relevant jurisdictions to build a bespoke estate structure that reflects your wishes, protects your beneficiaries, and ensures seamless wealth transfer across every country in which you hold assets.

Your estate plan should evolve as your life does. Carey Suen provides ongoing review and updates to ensure your structure remains current as your assets, residency, family circumstances, or jurisdictions change over time.

Who This Is For

Global estate planning at Carey Suen is designed for internationally mobile professionals, retirees, and family offices who hold assets across more than one jurisdiction and want certainty that their wealth will reach the right people – efficiently, securely, and in accordance with their wishes.

  • Expatriates holding assets in multiple countries
