We can help you develop a personalized cross-border estate plan that addresses:
- The Canadian and U.S. tax implications;
- Asset protection for beneficiaries if they get divorced or separated and from third-party creditors;
- Minimizing or eliminating U.S. state and Canadian provincial probate tax;

Then once your cross-border estate plan is finalized, we can prepare all of the Wills and Trusts for you in one place.
