If you're an Australian living in the US with property, finances, or family on both sides of the Pacific, there's a good chance your estate plan has gaps you don't know about. A standard US will often doesn't cover what happens to assets held in Australia. Naming a guardian when your family lives 10,000 miles away isn't straightforward. And if your spouse isn't a US citizen, the rules around inheritance aren't what most people assume.

In this free live webinar, America Josh is joined by estate planning attorney Shannon McNulty from The Village Law Firm for a practical conversation about what cross-border families actually need in place.

What we'll cover in the

• Why a US will alone often isn't enough when you have ties to another country
• How US estate tax applies when you're not a citizen (the exemption is lower than you think)
• Naming guardians for your kids when the people you trust most live abroad
• What happens to your US assets if something happens while you're overseas
• Protecting property and accounts you hold in Australia as part of your US estate plan
• Common myths, like “my Australian will covers everything” and “estate planning is only for older people”

Shannon founded The Village Law Firm to help international families in the US navigate exactly this. She holds a JD from Georgetown Law and an LL.M. in Taxation from NYU, and she's a frequent speaker on cross-border estate planning, estate tax for foreign nationals, and foreign investment in US property.

This session is designed for expats and foreign nationals in the US who have assets, family, or financial ties outside the US. Whether you've been here for two years or twenty, if your life spans more than one country, this is worth an hour of your time. This is a general information session — Shannon won't be providing individual legal advice during the webinar, but attendees can book a free 15-minute introductory call with The Village Law Firm to discuss their specific situation.
