Who Needs This
Who needs a nri estate planning?
NRI and Indian-American families often have assets and relatives in two countries. We prepare California documents for US assets at your specific direction. We do not advise on Indian law, FEMA, cross-border structuring, or taxes — please consult qualified attorneys and tax professionals in each country for that advice.
NRIs with US Property
Citizenship or OCI status does not by itself prevent you from having California documents for US assets.
Families with Property in India
Property in India is generally governed by Indian law. A California document may not cover it — consult a qualified Indian attorney.
OCI Holders
OCI status does not by itself prevent you from creating a California living trust or will for US assets.
Families Split Across Continents
When family members live in both countries, legal and tax questions often arise on both sides. We can share referrals.

California Considerations
What California law means for your nri estate planning.
General information for NRI families. This is not legal or tax advice.
- US assets — such as California real estate and US bank accounts — may be subject to California probate depending on how they are titled and their value.
- Property in India is generally governed by Indian law, and a California document may not cover it.
- FEMA (India's Foreign Exchange Management Act) and tax rules in both countries can affect cross-border transfers — consult qualified professionals.
- OCI status does not by itself change California rules for US-based assets.
