In this final installment of Absolute Trust Talk's international estate planning series, host Kirsten Howe concludes her conversation with estate planning specialist Janet Brewer, addressing one of the most common cross-border scenarios: U.S. citizens who own property abroad. Janet, with over 30 years of experience serving Silicon Valley's international clientele, explains why simply leaving foreign property to your US trust won't work, since most countries don't recognize trusts at all.   This episode highlights the crucial distinction between countries that recognize trusts (primarily former British colonies) and those that don't, and examines practical solutions, including the Hague Convention on International Wills and strategic "situs wills," which can prevent costly intestate succession. Janet shares how to navigate the complex process of probating wills in multiple countries and introduces listeners to STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners), an invaluable resource for finding qualified international estate planning professionals worldwide. Whether you've inherited a cottage in England, own investment property in India, or have family assets in China, this episode provides essential guidance for protecting your foreign holdings and ensuring your wishes are honored across borders.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 2:27 Janet explains the fundamental problem: Most countries don't recognize trusts, making standard US estate planning ineffective for foreign property 3:04 Discover which countries DO recognize trusts: primarily former British colonies like England, while Germany, China, and France do not 3:08 Learn about the Hague Convention on International Wills - a treaty that allows properly formatted wills to be honored across participating countries 5:57 The reality check: Most clients have their primary assets in the US but own that "little pocket of assets" overseas 6:07 Janet walks through the practical challenge of having one original will needed in two different countries 7:03 Strategic will drafting: How to structure wills to handle both US trusts and foreign property distributions effectively 10:07 Why you MUST work with an attorney in the foreign jurisdiction - forced heirship laws and other local requirements can override your US planning 11:10 Meet STEP: The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners - your go-to resource for finding qualified international estate planning professionals 12:53 How STEP membership requirements vary by country, with stricter vetting in the UK compared to more relaxed US standards 13:56 Closing thoughts and appreciation for the three-part international estate planning series

On the forty- third episode of ATFT, actress/ producer Michelle Calloway and movie critic Matthieu Côté join me in celebrating Angelina Jolie for her 50th birthday!Angelina Jolie is one of the most globally beloved movie stars of our time with people admiring her through her iconic public image evolution from being the “wild child” to a humanitarian and mother. She hit the ground running in the late 90s by earning three Golden Globes and an Academy Award for her performance as Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted. She established herself as an action star by playing the titular character in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. While many know her from her action films, she quietly has built up a versatile filmography with many of her best films being hidden gems. Her brilliant and emotionally- charged dramatic talents are overshadowed by the celebrity attention she has received and being one of the most beautiful women on the planet. If her success in film isn't enough reason to celebrate her, she's a humanitarian who served for ten years as a Special Envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. She has also been an advocate for women as her health- focused op- eds inspired women, leading for the sort- of movement as “The Angelina Effect”. She has been an inspiration to me for several years but her global impact has remained strong for over two decades.This is Michelle's second time on the podcast while this is Matthieu's third time! This episode came together rapidly and the version everyone will hear is probably Plan E. Plans were set for months to have on a returning guest to discuss Angelina but she, unfortunately, became a no- show. It would have been easier to have cancelled this episode but I didn't want to because Angelina has had such an impact on me since I was about 18 years old and this was a great opportunity to honor her. I am incredibly grateful to Matthieu and Michelle for saving this episode! Michelle is planning a second Filmmaker Forum for August this year! The date has yet to be set but the first one, which took place in March, was a major success and incredibly informative so if you're in the Jacksonville area, stay tuned for more information by following @michellecalloway on Instagram!

Angelina's films from Hackers to Maria are discussed with only a few omissions, like Beyond Borders. We share our first memories of Angelina and our five favorite Angelina films. For one section of the episode, I talked about three Angelina films I especially wanted to highlight. Matthieu and I discuss his favorite Angelina film, By the Sea, at length while Michelle shares which filmmaker she hopes Angelina will work with someday.

Bi-national artist Paola Villaseñor, known as Panca, is from Chula Vista and has spent over half her life in Tijuana. After her mother's death in 2005, she moved to Tijuana, where she found inspiration in the city's creativity, nightlife, affordability, and danger. Her art reflects themes of feminism and humanity's decay. "With art, you work with your heart, and it can become dark when you expose your vulnerability, but it's also pure. Art has been my therapy, my burden, and my savior." Panca's career took off with her solo show, “I Am the Architect of My Own Misfortune,” at Bread & Salt in 2020, accompanied by her first book, “Los Perdidos.” Her mural "Respect the Paleteros," featuring a distressed and melting ice cream cone, has become an icon in San Diego's Barrio Logan neighborhood.This episode mentions the Slow Baja Winter Expedition, Benchmark Maps Baja Road and Recreation Atlas, and the Pee Sport Bottle.Follow Panca on InstagramSupport the Slow Baja PodcastSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelBuy Baja Bound Insurance

In this second installment of Absolute Trust Talk's international estate planning series, host Kirsten Howe welcomes back estate planning specialist Janet Brewer to explore advanced strategies for families with cross-border connections. Building on their previous discussion of guardianship challenges, this episode focuses on critical tax considerations and financial hurdles faced by international families. Janet, a certified specialist with over 30 years of experience serving Silicon Valley clients, explains the unique tax opportunities available to visa holders with stock options and RSUs, which could result in savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars in estate taxes. The conversation reveals why appointing trustees who live abroad can trigger costly "foreign trust rules" and explores practical obstacles, such as banking restrictions, that complicate international wealth transfers. Janet and Kirsten also discuss the unexpected documentation requirements that can delay inheritance distributions to beneficiaries across borders, including the little-known "transfer tax certificate" that can hold up distributions for 6-9 months even when no tax is owed. Whether you're working in the US on a visa, have family members overseas, or are a US citizen living abroad, these expert insights could protect your hard-earned wealth from unnecessary complications and taxation.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 1:22 Janet introduces a common scenario: Visa holders with stock options and RSUs who need specialized planning. 2:54 Did you know? US citizens enjoy a nearly $14 million exemption, while non-US domiciliaries face estate tax after just $60,000. 4:56 Discover the key "planning opportunity" for visa holders: Gifts of US stock aren't subject to gift tax, but the same stock in their estate would face up to 40% tax at death. 8:53 Janet explains the critical distinction between "residence" and "domicile" for tax purposes, and how visa holders can legally leverage this difference. 11:31 Find out why appointing a foreign trustee can trigger costly "foreign trust rules" that reduce funds available for beneficiaries. 13:42 Learn about the growing practical challenge of US banks refusing accounts for trustees who don't have US addresses. 16:17 Next, Kirsten and Janet discuss why hiring a US-based professional fiduciary might be the most cost-effective solution despite the emotional preference for family trustees. 18:49 Obtaining an ITIN (International Taxpayer ID Number) can delay distributions by months, another documentation hurdle that foreign beneficiaries face. 22:09 Janet shares a recent discovery about US citizens living abroad: their US assets require a "transfer tax certificate" that can take 6-9 months from the IRS, even when no tax is owed. 25:44 Here's a workaround for the transfer tax certificate delay: Opening a probate proceeding can allow distributions to proceed more quickly.

In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, host Kirsten Howe welcomes estate planning specialist Janet Brewer to explore the unique challenges faced by immigrants and international families when planning for their future. Janet, with over 30 years of experience serving clients throughout Silicon Valley, brings her vast knowledge to address the specific concerns of non-resident aliens, visa holders, green card holders, and other international families with U.S.-based assets. As a member of the invitation-only Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), Janet regularly prepares estate plans for foreign nationals who own property or live in the US and for US citizens who own property abroad. During this discussion, they examine the critical considerations for guardianship of minor children across international boundaries, practical solutions for emergency situations, and financial strategies to protect loved ones regardless of where they call home. The conversation highlights how international estate planning requires careful attention to both legal requirements and practical implementation across different jurisdictions.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 3:41 Learn about the biggest concern for international clients: ensuring their children can return to family in their home country if something happens to the parents. 4:43 While California allows foreign guardians, it does vary by state. 6:40 Understand the critical distinction between technical jurisdiction and actual enforcement power when children leave California for another country. 7:54 Janet highlights that challenges with out-of-state guardianship exist even within the United States, creating similar concerns to those found in international guardianships. 9:41 Find out about temporary guardianship arrangements needed to bridge the gap when appointed guardians live far away. 11:51 Hear Janet's insightful perspective that international guardianship is "a question of degree, not difference" compared to distant domestic guardianships. 12:17 Start listening now to learn about potential complications when children are taken across borders without judicial approval. 14:31 Janet shares a clever software analogy to explain why trust documents need specific instructions for authorizing payments to guardians for travel expenses. 16:36 Discover why life insurance is a crucial financial solution for international families, providing quick liquidity without market timing concerns.

"The inefficiencies outside the U.S. are significant. International markets are more fragmented and offer opportunities that are very exciting. Even when macros are against us, we're finding businesses that we want to own." The Alger Redwood team takes a deep dive into international opportunities that U.S. investors may be missing.

Beyond Borders: A Spiritual Journey Home. The Odiyana Project on YouTube. www.Tibetanaidfoundation.orgAfter a worldwide quest for meaning following personal tragedy, a couple returns to America with newfound perspective. Having traveled through India, Nepal, Tibet, and China, they share profound insights about appreciating American freedom while reflecting on global inequality, spiritual growth, and their humanitarian work establishing an orphanage abroad. This thought-provoking conversation explores what truly matters in life beyond material comfort. A significant portion of the conversation centers on their humanitarian work, specifically the establishment of an orphanage in India through their foundation, the Tibetan Aid Foundation. The project provides shelter, food, education, and hope to children who previously had no future, including a 12-year-old boy they adopted whose parents had been forced to sell him due to extreme poverty. The podcast highlights themes of gratitude, perspective, the search for meaning, and finding joy in helping others despite personal tragedy. It serves as a reminder to focus on what we have rather than what we lack, especially when comparing the different types of struggles faced by people in wealthy versus developing nations.Key Points:The couple's spiritual journey was prompted by the loss of their son and feelings of emptiness despite material comfort in AmericaThey visited India, Nepal, Tibet, and China, meeting spiritual teachers including the Dalai LamaThey gained perspective on American abundance compared to the basic survival struggles in developing countriesThey established an orphanage in India that provides children with basic necessities and hope for the futureThe conversation emphasizes gratitude and focusing on what we have rather than what we lack

In 2019, while reading a motorcycle travel book, Sal was saving for an extended trip when Ethan asked if she planned to ride around the world. Without hesitation, she replied, “maybe.” That moment set them on an extraordinary journey across Africa and the Middle East, encountering breakdowns, roadblocks, flash floods, and theft. They navigated war zones, endured malaria, and battled relentless mechanical failures, yet the kindness of strangers and the thrill of adventure kept them going. Now, after crossing eleven African countries, they push toward the northernmost point they can reach, knowing neither will be the first to utter, “I quit.” Their journey proves that adventure isn't about having the best gear—it's about the determination to keep moving forward.

Join us in welcoming Esteban Sotomayor to VHMA for this episode, coming on to help us address multiculturalism in the workplace. Esteban is a veterinary business consultant with an extensive background in Latin American veterinary practices, and he sheds some light on some of the differences between the veterinary practices in Latin America and the United States, including the role of veterinary technicians and the unique challenges and opportunities faced by clinic owners in both regions. (For example, the lack of veterinary technicians in Latin America drastically affects how practices operate, requiring veterinarians to take on tasks that would typically be handled by technicians in the U.S.)   We also explore how competition among clinics and economic factors influence practice management, particularly in Esteban's home country, Ecuador, but a key takeaway from this episode is the importance of building and managing a strong team. Esteban shares his own approach to recruitment, training, and keeping the right people engaged, even in regions where veterinary talent is in high demand. We discuss how cultural differences shape management styles, especially in Latin American clinics where veterinarians often wear many hats, from diagnosing to managing HR. If you are in the veterinary field yourself and/or are curious about how business practices differ across cultures, then this episode will definitely resonate with you! Tune in for a candid conversation about the realities of managing a veterinary practice, the pressures of client expectations, and how to stand out in a competitive market.

Today I'm excited to introduce you to 4dFI Capital Partners — or as we call it, 4dFI — a new initiative bringing together the worlds of traditional finance and innovative fintech. In this episode, we're diving into three key themes reshaping global financial services: Hidden Innovations in Emerging Markets As Russell Weiss points out, "There's some incredible innovations happening in emerging markets, and oftentimes investors and executives in the US and Europe are sort of missing it. They're not hearing those stories. They're not getting access to that technology." We'll explore how companies like Nubank are just the beginning of a wave of groundbreaking financial solutions coming from regions outside traditional financial centers. From Fintech to Impact Investment In regions where traditional credit infrastructure is lacking, services like earned wage access aren't just convenient—they're transformative. Josh Liggett explains how these solutions are "where a FinTech turns from a FinTech company to also an impact investment," creating both financial returns and meaningful change in consumers' lives. Building a Value-Add Investment Community Beyond just providing capital, Fortify aims to create a network of experienced professionals who can offer expertise, connections, and insights to emerging market fintechs. This collaborative approach benefits everyone involved—investors gain exposure to new models, startups receive valuable guidance, and ultimately, consumers get better financial products. I'm joined today by my partners Russell Weiss and Josh Liggett, who bring complementary skills in data science, VC deal-making, and fintech expertise to this exciting venture. Whether you're a financial industry veteran looking for new horizons or simply curious about where global fintech is heading, today's conversation offers valuable insights into the future of finance beyond traditional markets. Let's dive in.

Figuratively speaking,borders are designed to contain people or keep them out. Border teaching aims to stop the flow of movement and imagination. When we discuss frontiers, we;re referring to a more dynamic andadventurous context. Every explorer we study embraces the idea of venturing into the frontiers. There's an ebb and flow, along with the excitement and uncertainty of discovery in this frontierlanguage. Frontier teachers can make us feel uneasy because they lead us into unexplored territory and expect us to take responsibility for our discoveries along the way.Today, we will explore the woods of Franciscan teaching. Some of what you will hear about original goodness and the primacy of the Incarnation may challenge your understanding. However, Jackiewill guide us through Church history, reassuring us that these concepts are not new but, rather, quite ancient. If we choose to embrace this journey, we may find our faith expanding and our perception of God much larger than we ever imagined.Suggested Reading LinksOriginal Blessing: Putting Sin in Its Rightful Placehttps://www.amazon.com/Original-Blessing-Putting-Rightful-Place/dp/1451496761Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisihttps://www.amazon.com/Eager-Love-Alternative-Francis-Assisi/dp/1632531402
