Expert International Probate Services

Navigating Cross-Border Estate Administration with Confidence

The loss of a loved one is profoundly difficult, and managing their estate across international boundaries can present additional complexities that require specialised expertise. Our distinguished international probate solicitors provide comprehensive guidance for families dealing with cross-border estate matters, whether your loved one was a UK national with overseas assets or a foreign national with UK holdings.

Understanding International Probate

Estate administration, commonly referred to as probate, encompasses the systematic management of a deceased person's affairs - including asset collection, inheritance tax obligations, and the distribution of bequests to beneficiaries. When assets span multiple jurisdictions, this process becomes significantly more intricate.

International probate applies to several scenarios:

  • Foreign nationals who maintained assets within the UK
  • UK nationals who held property or investments abroad
  • British expatriates retaining UK assets, such as the family residence
  • UK residents whose domicile for tax purposes remained in their country of origin (non-domiciled residents)

The intersection of diverse legal frameworks, taxation systems, and regulatory requirements across jurisdictions can transform estate administration into a complex, time-intensive process requiring sophisticated legal navigation.
