Private matters.Global consequences.
A family may live across several countries. Wealth may be spread across different jurisdictions. A relationship may begin in one country and end up affecting another. When private life crosses borders, the legal consequences do too.
At Garzalex we have a highly specialised private client team to advise on situations in which personal, family and financial elements of an international nature come together. We do not approach each question in isolation. We understand how they connect.
Analyse my situation
When life crosses borders
A single situation can simultaneously involve:
- different nationalities
- residence in different countries
- marriages celebrated abroad
- children with different nationalities
- property in several States
- family companies
- international accounts and investments
- wills and cross-border successions
And when these elements come together, the question is no longer simply:
“What does Spanish law say?”
It becomes:
“Which courts have jurisdiction?” “Which law applies?” “What effect will the decision have in another country?”
One life
One life.Several legal systems.
Our role is to bring order to that complexity.
From the outset, we analyse:
Where a matter can, or must, be resolved.
Which law may apply.
What effect a decision will have in other countries.
How family decisions may affect wealth.
How to protect family relationships and the children’s interests.
What tax consequences may follow from certain decisions.
The connectionmatters.
A divorce may affect a home.
An inheritance may involve companies.
A change of residence may alter succession planning.
A marriage may have financial consequences in several countries.
A decision about the children may have international implications.
That is why we do not deal with the problem in parts.
