Yes, international inheritances are particularly complex situations where a local expert is essential. When a loved one dies abroad or owns assets in multiple countries, the applicable rules (which country's law? what taxes?) are often confusing. A SOS-Expat provider in the relevant country can explain:
- Which law applies to the estate (country of residence, nationality, or where assets are located)
- Local procedures for opening an estate
- Inheritance taxes applicable in that country
- Validity of a foreign will in the relevant country
- Procedures for repatriating assets or funds
