In episode 99, we share our journey in navigating a living trust for a foreign beneficiary.

Creating a will or a living trust is something people may think about before heading out on an extended vacation. After two years serving as executor for a living trust, Art shares his story and learning moments.

...and more

Dealing with Trusts and Wills can get complicated. That’s why we have estate lawyers - to help us navigate the landmines.

If avoidable, we recommend thinking twice before naming a foreign person as a beneficiary. Or, if that's what you want to do, try to set up things in advance to make it easier to transfer your assets after you die.
