FAQ: Cross-Border Estate Planning
I'm a Canadian with US assets — do I need a US will?+
Not always, but a Canadian-only will can trigger US probate on your US assets and possibly US estate tax. A cross-border lawyer can advise on mirror wills, revocable trusts, or treaty relief.
Does Canada have an estate tax?+
No — but Canada has a 'deemed disposition' at death that triggers capital-gains tax on appreciated assets. A cross-border lawyer can plan around it.
What if I have assets in the Middle East?+
Civil-law and Sharia-based jurisdictions have forced-heirship rules that may override your North American will. A lawyer with cross-border experience can structure a plan that respects both regimes.
