A clear, practical foundation in estate planning for Americans living in Portugal.
Living in Portugal doesn’t simplify U.S. inheritance and estate rules; it adds an extra layer. Americans abroad remain subject to U.S. probate, while Portuguese law imposes its own inheritance rules, including forced heirship. Without coordination, families can face frozen accounts, unexpected costs, and confusion across two systems. This session cuts through the complexity with straightforward explanations and a roadmap for what to do next.
For less than the cost of a single hour with an international law firm, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and a structured plan tailored to Americans in Portugal.
