During the most recent installment of the International Tax Breakfast Series, Hal Webb, Jennifer Wioncek, and Paul D'Alessandro, Jr., discussed some common mistakes in international estate planning.

The panel addressed 10 areas where such blunders are commonly observed: improper gifting methods, U.S. situs asset issues, failure to recognize community property assets and other joint ownership issues, pre-immigration planning blunders, foreign grantor trust issues, use of jointly settled trusts, PFICS and U.S. beneficiaries, failure to plan for basis Step-Up, compliance miscues, and failure to respect trust forms and planning structures.
These common slip-ups can cause unintended income tax problems if not taken into account at the proper time.
