First questions

What we will ask first

  1. 01Where do family members live, and where are the assets?
  2. 02Which countries' succession and family laws may apply?
  3. 03Is there a deadline, a court order or a dispute?
  4. 04Who needs to be involved?

The approach

How WONE Global usually approaches it

  1. Step 1Map the people, assets and laws involved.
  2. Step 2Bring in family and succession professionals in each country.
  3. Step 3Set out options that work in every relevant country.
  4. Step 4Put documents, structures or proceedings in place.

What is needed varies by country and by matter. Your WONE Global professional confirms the work, timing and fees before anything starts.

Across borders

Complications to check

Issues to assess when more than one country is involved. They are prompts, not conclusions about any country's law.

  • Different laws of contractParties sign one commercial agreement but disagree which law governs duties, damages and remedies
  • Foreign ownership of landAn asset buyer needs to verify permitted ownership interests and registrations
  • Child custody and relocationFamily members live in different countries and dispute applicable forum or orders
  • Court vs arbitration forumAgreement uses arbitration while assets and key witnesses are in different countries
  • Recognition of judgmentsA party wins abroad but needs lawful local recognition and enforcement
