Hello All,
My question is if a person dies without a will and has dual citizenship (Trinidad, WI and a Naturalized U.S. citizen) can the U.S. Probate Courts (New York) include the personal and real properties in Trinidad as apart of the estate in the U.S.? In Trinidad the courts only include the assets held in their country as part of the deceeased estate. The death occurred in the U.S. Are the distributions of the assets two separate processes without any legal overlaps between the laws of both countries? In other words, are there any legal requirements that the assets be brought back to the U.S. and distributed according to its probate laws. There are beneficiaries in both countries.
Does it make any difference if the administrator of the estates for both coutries is the same person and that person is a citizen of Trinidad and a legal resident in the U.S.?
Thanks Much!
