Title Research’s newest guide explains the complexities of administering an estate with US assets.
Estate administration can be complex. Among the list of tasks that add to this complexity is when an estate contains assets that are held overseas, specifically, in the United States (US).
US shares can be very difficult to sell or transfer, mainly due to processes, timelines and rules being different from state to state. The process can be complicated to navigate if you’ve never done it before or don’t do it often.
The latest guide by Title Research explains what’s involved in administering an estate with US assets, some of the common issues that could arise and how they can help.
Some of the topics covered include:
- Common US shares
- Understanding tax clearance
- The risk of escheatment
- Sales and transfers without tax clearance
- How Title Research can help
