Why British Ex-Pats Need Tailored Legal Advice Services

Laws and regulations in the UK and the USA differ greatly, and without specialized legal advice, ex-pats may encounter conflicting guidance. To ensure that you don’t face unnecessary complications or make costly mistakes, it’s crucial to work with legal professionals who understand the nuances of both systems. With Transatlantic Law Services you will feel confident in navigating issues such as estate planning, property transactions, and family law matters; while we focus on making sure that your rights and interests are fully protected.

Who Can Benefit from Transatlantic Law Services?

Our services are tailored for British citizens who have made Florida their home and hold permanent lawful residence in the USA. Whether you’re newly arrived, or have lived in the States for years, we’re here to provide the support and guidance you need to manage your UK legal affairs effectively.

Legal matters often require proactive planning, particularly when you’re living abroad. Waiting until issues arise can lead to costly, time-consuming complications.

Estate Planning: Ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
Property Sales: Manage UK properties efficiently while living overseas.
Family Disputes: Resolve cross-border conflicts quickly and effectively.
By working with TLS, you can address these matters confidently, knowing your legal affairs are in trusted hands.

Our Services

Estate Planning: Wills and Probate

One of the most misunderstood aspects of moving to the USA is the assumption that a will written in the UK is enforceable in other countries.

UK Wills May Not Be Applicable: Wills created in England and Wales are often not valid in the USA. Differences in inheritance laws means that failing to create a US-compliant will can lead to delays, additional costs, and disputes.
Avoiding Intestate Laws in the USA: Without a proper will in place, US intestate laws may take over, determining how your estate is distributed, often contrary to your intentions. TLS specializes in creating wills and estate plans that consider your assets in both countries, ensuring your wishes are respected and your family’s financial future is secure.

Property Transactions Across Borders

Selling or managing property in the UK while living in the USA introduces both logistical and legal challenges.

Tax Implications: Cross-border property transactions can trigger capital gains tax in both jurisdictions.
Distance Management: Managing the sale of property from abroad requires trusted professionals on the ground.

Family Law Across Borders

For families split between the UK and the USA, divorce, child custody, and visitation rights become particularly intricate.

Jurisdictional Challenges: Deciding which country’s courts should handle your case can have significant legal and financial implications.
Cross-Border Custody Arrangements: Balancing parental rights across two countries demands a deep understanding of both legal systems.
