SF Expat Panel: Updates on Tax, Estate Planning, UK Pensions, Immigration
15 March, 2024
Whether you are new to the Bay Area or have been here a while, there are things you need to know to ensure success with your tax and estate planning, immigration status and current and future finances. Navigating the immigration laws, establishing your credit history, understanding the taxation system, and oh, what to do with that UK pension you left behind? While these issues may seem separate, your decisions about one issue, may negatively, or positively, impact one of the other areas.
This is your chance to get your questions answered from a panel of experts in tax, immigration law, estate planning and UK pensions. You will also get a chance to connect with people who are in the same situation as yourself.
