Ep. 69 - International Lives and the New Reality of Estate Planning

Today’s families are increasingly global, with assets, homes, citizenships, and loved ones spanning multiple jurisdictions. In this episode of Future Focused: Sophisticated Estate Planning, host Michael Clear welcomes Carolyn Reers, a partner at Wiggin and Dana, and Suzanne Shier, counsel at Levenfeld Pearlstein, to discuss the forces driving today's cross-border planning challenges, from globally mobile families and international philanthropy to cultural competency, compliance, and succession laws around the world. As co-editors of the third edition of the ABA Guide to International Estate Planning: Design, Administration, and Compliance, Carolyn and Suzanne offer an inside look at the creation of the guide and the practical tools it provides for advisors and families navigating an increasingly interconnected world.
