[WSBAPT] Non US Citizen as PR?

[Heather de Vrieze]

If they are a US Person, as it sounds like they are, being a lawful permanent US resident, I do not see any problem. Hopefully they have a Tax ID number, as that is necessary for them to obtain an EIN for the estate. This is the primary issue I have run into over the years with PRs who were not citizens.

You should also consider the possibility that they leave the country, and the additional challenges that would present.

Hi List Mates,

The Statute seems to be silent. Client wants to appoint Seattle resident and Green Card holder but non-citizen as PR and also, as trustee for testamentary trusts.  What issues have you seen with this scenario?

Thank you,
Erin
