Estate planning for high net worth clients is
increasingly a cross-border exercise: with personal and business
interests spanning the globe, close attention must be paid to the
rules of succession that apply on the passing of family
members
As a British Overseas Territory, the Cayman Islands has a very
strong connection to England, and it is common for lawyers to be
instructed to assist with the administration of an estate
comprising assets located across both jurisdictions.
Please download our guide prepared in collaboration with Geoff
Kertesz and Catriona Abraham of Stewarts, in which we compare the
different laws, procedures, and considerations to be taken into
account when assisting with the establishment of a succession plan,
drafting wills, and obtaining grants of probate or letters of
administration across our borders.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
