Gift and estate planning

Gift and estate planning

With assets and family members spread out between the United States, France and other countries, designing an optimal estate plan can be challenging. Multiple laws may apply for the inheritance and taxation of assets, and you may be restricted in what you can do. Lifetime gifts might be a good way to transfer some of your assets.

DKN can assist you in identifying the relevant facts and issues, defining your objectives, and exploring possible solutions. You arrive prepared to discuss the drafting of legal documents with your French notaire and/or US lawyer. We can also assist as needed in such discussions, and review drafts of documents.
