Subject: [WSBAPT] estate planning with canadian real estate
 
Hi Listmates:
 
I have  H & W estate planning clients, both U.S. citizens, who own real
estate in Whistler, B.C.  They want their whole estate plan to focus on
preserving the Whistler property for their heirs.  I am wondering, if they
have just regular washington wills, how would their Canadian property be
transferred?  Does a trust or LLC make more sense?  Should I tell them to
get Canadian Wills also?
 
Also, for anyone who knows the answers to these questions, where should I
go to learn more about these cross-border issues?
 
thank you!
