Program Description:

Individuals who are neither citizens nor residents of the U.S. often do not realize that their investments in the U.S. may bring them within the scope of the U.S. transfer tax system. Prior to making any investments in the U.S., such individuals should seek estate planning advice in order to properly structure their investments with U.S. estate, gift, and generation skipping transfer taxes in mind in order to ensure that they have a tax efficient structure in place.  

The presenters will discuss the common planning considerations available to non-resident aliens in structuring their U.S. investments in the context of the U.S. federal estate and gift tax, including a discussion of the rules unique to taxation of non-residents, the potential availability of estate, gift, and inheritance tax treaties to provide relief from double taxation, and compliance issues relevant to non-resident aliens and their estates.
