[John J. Sullivan]

Felicia:

This might be a situation where one of those new TOD deeds might come in handy

Otherwise I would place it in a single purpose RLT, or a WA C

Do they need a US Will to do that?  Is there some sort of ancillary proceeding that you open in the US to administer the property, even if the primary probate proceeding is in the UK?  I suppose they could add the daughter to the title as a co-owner with right of survivorship, but for exposure reasons I’m never crazy about that idea.  Should I tell them to consult US counsel,  or is this really simple and can just be dealt with easily in the administration of the UK Will?
