Beware of inheritance scams
Unfortunately, inheritance scams are a common tactic used by fraudsters to trick victims into sharing personal information or paying fees under the false promise of a large inheritance. To protect yourself, always verify the legitimacy of any claims and double-check the credentials of anyone you're dealing with.
Inheritance tax and how it can affect you
Inheriting assets from abroad may also mean inheriting tax obligations. If you are named as a recipient or beneficiary to an international estate, it’s essential to consult with a tax law attorney who specializes in cross-border issues to ensure full compliance with both local and international tax regulations.
