For families with property in both China and Canada, a single ordinary will can create conflict, delay and double trouble across borders.
When your assets straddle China and Canada, your estate plan has to work in two legal systems that do not share the same rules on succession, documents or recognition. A will drafted only for Canadian assets may be awkward, or ineffective, for property in China, and the reverse is also true.
Do you need one will or two? Can your chosen executor realistically act across borders? How will a Canadian will, or a foreign one, be recognized where the assets actually are? How is each asset taxed, in each country? Getting these wrong can freeze an estate for months or years.
For a China and Canada family, the estate plan should be designed as a single coordinated whole, so each document does its job in the place it is needed, without colliding with the other.

Book a Consultation对于在中加两地都有财产的家庭，一份普通的单一遗嘱，可能在跨境时制造冲突、延迟与双重麻烦。
当你的资产横跨中国与加拿大时，你的遗产计划必须在两套法律制度中都行得通，而这两套制度在继承、文件与承认上的规则并不相同。一份只为加拿大资产起草的遗嘱，对中国的财产可能很别扭、甚至无效，反过来也一样。
你需要一份遗嘱还是两份？你选的执行人能否切实地跨境行事？一份加拿大遗嘱、或一份境外遗嘱，在资产实际所在地会如何被承认？每一项资产，在各自国家如何纳税？弄错这些，可能让一笔遗产冻结数月乃至数年。
对一个中加家庭而言，遗产计划应被设计为一个协调的整体，使每份文件在它需要发挥作用的地方各司其职，而不与另一份相撞。
