Relocation

Where you are considered resident or domiciled determines what your tax obligations are. We guide you through the complexities and help you find ways to protect your wealth, as well as address succession planning. We help you explore options such as changing your tax residency through expatriation and alternative citizenship.

Bringing our international experience to your situation

While you may have several bank accounts, assets, interests or family spread around the globe, where you call home for residency and tax purposes matters. Your residency and domicile status can have a profound effect on your tax obligations and have serious financial consequences.

Most of our clients (and our lawyers) have international backgrounds as well so we bring our knowledge and experience to help you best manage your wealth and develop a succession plan.

Your Residency and Domicile Status

Knowing and (in some cases) changing your residency and/or domicile status is not straightforward. We take the headache away by asking you the relevant questions about your situation and determining your status and tax obligations for different scenarios.

Relocation expertise

Citizenship options and your tax residency

Our firm’s work spans multiple countries and we routinely advise clients on how alternative citizenships can help lessen tax exposure. We manage the entire expatriation and tax residency relocation process for you through a detailed plan covering:

  • Pre-immigration tax planning
  • Exit and pre-arrival tax planning in the new country
  • Accompanying you to all administrative related meetings
  • Advice on protecting your assets from additional tax liability due to tax residency changes

We regularly advise clients who travel and relocate frequently for work (artists, athletes and other professionals), which results in continuous changes to their tax residency and obligations.

Obtaining a visa and other immigration services

We also assist our clients with obtaining international visas and other immigration services.

Location of residence - your family office or trust company

We advise on the location of residence for family offices and trust companies used for wealth management.
