Dealing with property abroad

Generally when one has assets in a foreign country, making a Will under the laws of the local country in question is advised. This is because it better enables your executors to deal with the assets in said country by giving them all necessary authority under domestic law. Some countries may accept Wills made under the jurisdiction of England & Wales – but this must be confirmed for the country you have assets in.
