Expat Chat Episode 100 - The Importance Of A Will For Expats

Welcome to the one hundredth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about the importance of wills and enduring powers of attorneys (EPOA's) for Australian expats. When we move overseas it is quite easy to forget about what would happen to our estates should the worst occur - a death of you or a loved one in the family. However its not until you are experiencing such a troubling time that you wished that these matters were addressed beforehand. Statistically speaking not many Australian residents have wills and the number of expats we meet are even less which is cause for concern. In this episode we run through the following topics: • Do I need to have a will as a Australian expat? • Do I need to have a will in each country that I hold a asset in? • If I am a beneficiary of a will and live overseas how will this be treated?
