<p>We always contact the consulate or embassy as to their transfer notification rules. Many countries have an inheritance tax and this is required by them. Sometimes we have had beneficiaries request we transfer into their US bank account which they use in
traveling. Know the rules first.<u></u><u></u></p>

<br>
I have an estate in which all of the heirs live in Norway and are Norwegian citizens. All of the assets of the deceased have been liquidated and the funds are in an estate bank account here in the States. The personal representative (also in Norway) would
like to distribute the funds by the simplest means.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have some advice about how, practically, to go about making these distributions? It would be much appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
