Our Expertise
Domicile, Residency & UK Inheritance Tax
International doctors working in the UK may become exposed to UK inheritance tax depending on their residency and domicile status.
We provide clear advice on how UK inheritance tax rules apply to overseas assets, foreign income and international family arrangements, helping clients understand potential exposure and available planning opportunities.
Our solicitors help structure arrangements efficiently while ensuring compliance across jurisdictions.
Cross Border Estate Planning
Doctors with assets in multiple countries often require estate planning that operates effectively across different legal systems.
We advise on structuring estates involving overseas property, international investments and cross-border family interests, ensuring arrangements are coordinated and legally effective in each relevant jurisdiction.
Our international private wealth solicitors for doctors work to minimise the risk of conflicts between different succession laws and estate planning documents.
UK & International Wills
International estates frequently require separate wills covering different jurisdictions.
We prepare UK wills and coordinate multi-jurisdictional will structures designed to ensure your arrangements work together effectively and avoid unintended conflicts or delays during estate administration.
Where appropriate, we work directly with overseas advisers to ensure consistency across all planning documents.
Double Taxation & Succession Issues
Cross-border estates can create complex tax issues, including the risk of double taxation on assets held internationally.
We advise doctors and medical professionals on international succession planning and inheritance tax exposure, helping to identify available reliefs, treaty protections and efficient structuring options.
Our aim is to protect wealth while simplifying administration for future generations.
We regularly work alongside overseas lawyers, accountants and financial advisers to provide a joined-up approach that reflects both UK requirements and international considerations.
This ensures all aspects of your planning remain aligned and effective across borders.
Planning Your Long Term Future
Whether you intend to remain in the UK permanently, divide your time internationally or eventually relocate overseas, your estate planning should reflect your long term intentions.
We help international doctors structure arrangements that remain flexible as careers, residency status and family circumstances evolve over time.
Regular reviews help ensure your planning continues to meet your objectives as legal and tax rules change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with overseas advisers?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with overseas lawyers, accountants and financial advisers to provide integrated cross-border estate and succession planning advice.
How can double taxation affect international estates?
Without proper planning, assets may become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction. We advise on reliefs, treaties and structuring options designed to reduce unnecessary tax exposure.
Can I have wills in more than one country?
Yes. In many cases, separate wills are prepared for different jurisdictions to ensure assets are dealt with efficiently and local legal requirements are satisfied.
What is domicile and why is it important?
Domicile is a legal concept that can affect your exposure to UK inheritance tax, particularly in relation to overseas assets. It is separate from nationality and residency.
Why do international doctors require specialist estate planning advice?
International doctors often have assets, family interests and tax exposure across multiple jurisdictions. Specialist advice helps ensure arrangements are coordinated effectively and remain legally valid internationally.
