International Estate Planning · Cross-Border Tax Counsel
Your life crosses borders. Your estate plan should too.
For globally mobile families, non-citizen spouses, and Americans holding foreign assets — precise legal structures built to hold up across jurisdictions and withstand IRS scrutiny. Based in Atlanta. Built for a borderless world.
More than documents. A plan that actually works abroad.
Most estate plans fall apart the moment a foreign asset, a non-citizen spouse, or an IRS disclosure obligation enters the picture. Williams Legal ATL, LLC was built for exactly those situations — where the cost of a generic plan is measured in penalties, double taxation, and assets stranded across borders.
