I retained Ashford International Law for a consultation regarding a proposed gift of my parents’ home in Germany and the related U.S. tax and estate planning implications. My situation involved both German and U.S. legal issues, including a retained Nießbrauch, potential U.S. reporting requirements, German social welfare considerations, and cross-border estate planning.
Ms. Ashford was well prepared, took the time to understand my family’s situation, and provided practical, well-reasoned guidance throughout the consultation. Following our meeting, I received a detailed written summary of the discussion, and she also responded to several follow-up questions that helped clarify important planning issues before my family made any final decisions.
If you are dealing with German-U.S. cross-border estate planning or international inheritance matters, I found the consultation to be informative, professional, and worthwhile. It gave my family a much clearer understanding of our options and allowed us to move forward with confidence in discussions with our German notary.
