After Your New Status: Planning Tax, Wealth Management and Succession Together

Written by Global Immigrate consultants · Reviewed by Fergus Wu, Co-founder & Chief Immigration Consultant

Summary

Immigration is only the first step. With a new status, your family’s tax, asset allocation, children’s education and succession all need review. Four areas to address, timing and one-stop support.

Why plan again after immigrating?

A new status can change your tax residence, reporting obligations and how wealth passes on. Arrangements that suited you before may not suit you now.

Four areas to review

Area Questions
Tax How income, dividends and gains are taxed; whether overseas accounts must be reported
Asset allocation Whether the portfolio still fits; currency and regional mix
Succession Whether wills, trusts and family office structures meet the new legal requirements
Children Education funding, where they’ll study, and buying property there later

Timing

When What
Before immigrating Review asset structure and tax impact, ideally before status takes effect
When status is granted Update account details and reporting
After moving Review investments and succession regularly

Common mistakes

  1. Discovering after the fact that large overseas assets must be reported.
  2. A succession structure that doesn’t fit the new legal position.
  3. A portfolio concentrated in one currency.

FAQ

Is it too late to plan after immigrating?

Some arrangements work better before your status takes effect, so start before applying.

Does a family trust still work after immigrating?

Review it under the new legal position; some structures may need adjusting.

Should I open a local bank account?

It usually helps with daily life and money management.
