About Kevin
Practice areas
- Immigration: 32%
We do not handle all areas of US immigration. We limit our practice to EB-5 visa and E-2 visa applications, and US spousal (not fiancee) visas where one or both spouses are resident in the UK.
- Probate: 20%
Florida Probate can involve complicated issues. We seek to keep it simple. Let us help you in deciding the type of Florida probate, and in closing the probate estate with the least possible complications.
28 years
- Estate planning: 12%
My estate planning mainly concerns preparing US estate planning documents for UK and european clients in light of property owned in the US. I prepare US revocable living trusts and QDOT wills with a view to taking account of the UK Finance Act 2006.
28 years
- Trusts: 10%
Looking to avoid probate in the USA? We specialize in revocable trusts for both US citizens and foreign nationals. For the estates of UK citizens we can advice in relation to the implications of the use of a US trust under UK tax law.
26 years
- Family: 5%
While being based in the UK, we can advise and or represent spouses in Florida divorce matters where there is a UK element such as where one spouse and/or children of the parties is/are resident in the UK.
- Residential real estate: 5%
We have experience in helping both US citizens and foreign nationals in Florida property purchases. It is helpful to have someone on your side who can provide legal advice and help ensure your purchase has the best chance to go smoothly. You need to have someone to check the closing documents on your behalf including the exceptions on the title commitment. In a sale, sellers may simply want someone to compare the contract to the relevant closing documents to check the division of costs.
28 years
- Tax: 5%
We handle the preparation of Form 706 and Form 706NA US Estate & Gift Tax Returns. We are experienced in preparing treaty-based Estate returns of non US residents, through which we may be able to reduce or eliminate estate tax liability.
