    Separating English probate from overseas procedures

    London executors can arrange advice at our Canary Wharf office where an estate includes assets in different countries. Identify the location and ownership of each holding and gather any foreign wills or court documents before assuming one application will cover everything.

    A grant issued in England and Wales may need recognition or a separate procedure elsewhere. Property and succession rules differ between countries, and the deceased’s residence and other connections can affect tax reporting. Do not rely on a general statement that a UK connection decides the whole position.

    We advise on the England and Wales administration and identify where another jurisdiction’s lawyer or a specialist tax adviser is needed. Coordination matters because valuations, document translations and overlapping applications can affect the order of work. Tell us about overseas assets at the beginning, even if you do not yet have every document.
