U.S. Estate Tax and Wealth Planning for Swiss and Italian Clients

  • Lugano Switzerland (map)

Program

The U.S., Switzerland, and Italy have long been linked by strong cultural ties, and it is not surprising that today many families face cross-border issues involving all three countries.

Now, more than ever, it is therefore necessary for wealth planning professionals to see beyond the borders of their country in order to understand the multi-jurisdictional issues that impact their clients.
