<title>Distributing assets to foreign heirs</title>
<div>
<font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">Good evening all,<br>
<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>
Jennifer<br>
