Global Wealth & International Structures

Protection, continuity and efficiency across multiple jurisdictions. We structure and protect wealth that exists in more than one country.

Overview

How we can help you.

Wealth spread across countries brings opportunities — and also risks of double taxation, succession conflicts and rules that contradict one another across jurisdictions.

We help families and individuals organise their assets safely and efficiently, with attention to succession, wealth protection and compliance in each country involved.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions.

I have assets in Brazil and France. What about inheritance?+

Both jurisdictions may claim competence and apply different rules. International succession planning avoids conflicts and reduces costs for heirs.

Can I be taxed twice on the same asset?+

It is a real risk, but often avoidable with proper structuring and the use of conventions between countries.

Do you help with buying property in France?+

Yes. We provide legal support for the acquisition, from the preliminary agreement to the deed, integrating tax and succession aspects.
