Estate Planning Packages

We advise on:
- US federal laws (for example federal tax laws, or immigration and citizenship), including their application to international clients or foreign assets.
- The laws of the jurisdictions where we are licensed to practice law, currently Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia and Germany;
- The laws of the European Union;
- International conventions;
- Bilateral treaties entered into by the United States and Germany.
For questions related to the laws of other jurisdictions where we are not licensed we work with competent local attorneys.
