What you get
7-Step Planning Process
A structured, step-by-step approach — from asset discovery to legally registered documents — built for NRIs with global estates.
We begin by identifying every asset you own — real estate, financial accounts, business interests, digital assets, and movable property — while evaluating outstanding liabilities to build an accurate estate picture.
Talk to our advisor →A detailed audit ascertains the current inheritance status of each asset — nominations, existing wills, co-ownership — and delivers a report with actionable recommendations for preferential planning.
Talk to our advisor →Many NRIs hold assets across India and multiple foreign countries. We identify the correct legal jurisdiction for each asset class and design a cross-border inheritance structure accordingly.
Talk to our advisor →We help you identify and legally designate beneficiaries for each asset — whether family members, relatives, friends, charitable trusts, pets, or business partners.
Based on legal, family, tax, and personal requirements, we recommend the most suitable vehicle — a Will, a Private Trust, or a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) — to achieve your estate planning goals efficiently.
Talk to our advisor →Simplest vehicle; takes effect on death; must be registered.
Greater control, privacy & bypasses probate; ideal for large estates.
Tax-efficient structure for joint Hindu family properties in India.
Once the vehicle is finalised, our lawyers draft the document and guide you through Sub-Registrar registration in India — whether you are physically present or need a remote POA-based process.
Talk to our advisor →After registration, we guide you on safeguarding the document, communicating the plan to key beneficiaries, and scheduling periodic reviews to reflect life changes like new assets, relocations, or family additions.
