Country-Specific Will Service FAQ

What is a country-specific Will?

A country-specific Will is a Will that applies only to the assets you own in that country. If you own assets in multiple countries, writing country specific Wills can save your loved ones' time and money by completing the probate process in all jurisdictions simultaneously instead of one after the other. This also allows you to appoint different executors and beneficiaries specific to each country. A country-specific Will is particularly important if you want to give a gift of property in a country other than your main Will's country.
