International & expat planning

International planning starts from the fact that the US taxes its citizens wherever they live. Americans abroad file every year and report foreign accounts, foreign funds can carry punishing US tax, and pensions and estates are treated differently in each country. Newcomers to the US face the same rules from the other side, with assets and family still at home. Every advisor listed here names international or expat work on their own firm's site, often for specific countries. For moves between the US and Canada, see Cross-border (US / Canada).
