Living as an expat can bring new opportunities, but it also adds layers of complications when planning your estate, wills and trusts. Your assets may be distributed across multiple countries, with jurisdictional differences and varying legalities.
If your permanent home is abroad, inheritance tax is only applied to your UK assets. Therefore, it’s important to understand the tax liabilities you’re subject to, so that you can avoid double taxation.
Probate issues may arise if you were to pass away while living abroad. To ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, it’s vital to engage in thorough estate planning, including wills and trusts. Protecting your family involves considering the legal rights and responsibilities in your host country, such as guardianship laws, and ensuring that you have appropriate legal documents in place to safeguard their interests.

Whilst setting up a trust can incur legal costs initially, these costs often allow a person (Trustee) to protect their wealth from the tax man when they pass away, meaning they can pass more of their money on to family and loved ones.
The recipient of a trust as nominated by the trustee is known as the beneficiary. This could be, amongst others; your spouse, a family member or an entity such as a charity.
Trust planning can be a rather complex matter, but at Skybound Wealth, our experienced advisers will support you, making the process as easy to understand and as hassle-free as possible.
Drafting up a will is an essential part of any financial plan, but even more essential if you’re an expat, or you have assets in more than one country. It’s important to make sure you have a will written up that will cover these different bases. Here’s why…
You may have a will which was written in your home country, but it may not necessarily be valid in your current country of residence. In countries where Sharia Law is applied, such as the UAE, the absence of a will may mean your wealth is passed on in line with Sharia Law rather than your personal wishes.
This could result in a long and lengthy period of time when your loved ones are left without access to your wealth, and in some instances, bank accounts can be frozen for months. All of this can be prevented by making sure you have a will set up in the right jurisdiction, and we can help you do just that.
