Subject to U.S. Law?

[acgirotto]

What is the name of your state? CA

My mother in law was a Brazilian resident (she passed away) married to an American in a U.S. ceremony. She had a green card and she and her American husband occasionally lived in the U.S. We're assuming that her estate isn't subject to U.S. law, but to Brazilian law since she was a Brazilian resident and that's where her primary residence was. Would that be a correct assumption?
Thx!

Are you concerned about clearing title to her property? Or taxes?

Where did she die? How long was she married to the man and how long did she live in the US?

You need to be consulting with a local probate attorney about this.
