Global Estate Planning from a South African perspective

Last Updated on 08/12/2023 by Carl-Peter Lehmann

But whether it be investing in real estate, shares, or other types of assets – we often don’t consider the complexities of owning assets in foreign locations both from a situs and inheritance tax perspective. Cross border financial planning and wealth management is nuanced and complex.The consequence of not arranging our affairs properly can be devastating – particularly from an estate planning perspective on death, which can lead to a huge amount of unnecessary cost, time and heartache. At Henceforward, where we focus on global wealth management for South Africans, avoiding these is something that we plan for.
