REPLAY! Celebrity Estates: King Charles III and How International Heirs Impact Tax Planning

When King Charles III was crowned, he had lived a life full of experiences at the age of 74. His heirs equally have lived their lives and made their own decisions, including his son Harry who has taken up residence in the US.

This decision will impact how Harry’s inheritance will be taxed after his father passes.

In this episode, David Lenok is joined by David Lesperance, of Lesperance and Associates, and Melvin Warshaw, a tax and private client lawyer, in exploring how estate plans work when there are international heirs involved.

Lesperance and Warshaw discuss:

  • The pain points of creating an estate plan with international heirs;
  • What tax regulations impact international heirs and how their immigration status may impact that inheritance;
  • How the US enforces inheritance tax with international heirs;
  • Why everyone should be aware of the laws involved in the estate plan – even if they will be dead when it comes into action;
  • And more.
