We're continually shocked by the number of lawyers, accountants, and financial advisors in the United States who specialize in tax, estate, or financial planning and don’t know how to deal with the everchanging circumstances, problems, and cultures of foreigners—especially those of the Mexican or Latin American foreign investor. By failing to consider the unique challenges posed by your nationality, residency, or immigration status, they’re placing you—and everything you’ve worked so hard to achieve—at risk.
Our practice is 100% committed to the foreign investor or business owner. We understand your desire for safety and security after dealing with the violence and instability that many of our Latin American countries have suffered in these last few years. The Definitive Blue Book of Estate Planning for Foreign Millionaires is just one of the many valuable resources MEG International Counsel, PC offers to help you proactively plan for the future.
