Read Guide →The UK–Australia corridor is one of the most travelled by British emigrants — yet there is no inheritance tax treaty between the two countries. UK Inheritance Tax follows UK-domiciled individuals wherever they live. Many discover this too late.
Read Guide →There is no bilateral inheritance or estate tax treaty between France and Australia. This single fact has significant consequences for diaspora families with connections to both countries — and most are unaware of it until it is too late.
Read Guide →The UK–France corridor is one of the most common — and most misunderstood — cross-border inheritance situations in Europe. The two systems operate on fundamentally different principles, creating overlaps, gaps, and surprises that catch families unprepared.
Read Guide →France and Spain share one of Spain’s three inheritance treaties. But the 1963 convention has known gaps — including the bank account dispute — and Art 750 ter para 3 operates through beneficiary residence regardless of where the treaty allocates taxing rights on the estate itself.
Read Guide →Neither France nor Portugal levies inheritance tax in the way most people fear. But the Art 750 ter beneficiary trap, the absence of a bilateral treaty, and the interaction of two forced heirship systems create real risks for families straddling these two countries.
