In IURIT<\/strong> we went recently to a family with an increasingly common situation, a succession of international goods in 3 different countries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sucesio\u0301n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A Spanish resident Paraguay<\/strong> for years, assets to be distributed among Spain, Europe and Latin America<\/strong>. His family \u2014two sons and a nephew resident in the foreign\u2014 contacted us to find a way to organize the succession and to avoid a tax charge excessive<\/strong> at the time of inheritance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it may seem a simple process, planning an inheritance international it is one of the biggest fiscal challenges, and existing legal<\/strong>especially when the goods are distributed in several countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge: three countries, three laws, a single family<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first step was to analyze where taxed each well<\/strong>, what is the tax residence of the father<\/strong> and what rights you have the heirs under the Spanish law (which imposes the famous \u201clegitimate\u201d for the children). In addition, you had to take into account the taxation in Paraguay, where the deceased resided, and in the EU, where he owns properties and accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest problems of these cases is the double taxation<\/strong>: that is to say, to pay tax for the same well in more than one country. Without planning, your heirs could end up losing a significant part of the inheritance only in taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategy for a succession international: order, clarity and balance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each case requires a different structure, but in this scenario we applied three main lines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Wills co-ordinated in each country.<\/strong>
    The client made a will in Spain and Paraguay, is adapted to each legislation, while avoiding blocks, or inheritance parallel. This allowed his will to prevail in both jurisdictions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Transmission in the life of some goods (planned giving).<\/strong>
    Some properties in Spain were donated partially in life, while respecting the legitimate children, and reducing the fiscal impact later.
    This made it possible to get reductions and regional and distribute loads gradually.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Specific provisions for the nephew.<\/strong>
    Given that the nephew was not entitled forced to inherit, we designed a legacy to his favor in the form of a donation conditioned, by adjusting the times to avoid being taxed twice, and respecting the Spanish legislation and paraguay.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    From IURIT we believe that the true value is not only in the \u201cformula\u201d in law, but in anticipating: organize before you, to choose correctly the jurisdictions and to document each step.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
