Can't remember where I heard this but I'm pretty sure it was from a Barrister friend of ours. Your Wills and Trusts from the US are only valid in the US...Vice versa. You would need to have your Will drawn up by a UK Solicitor in order foe things to go accordingly in the UK. I also heard that if you have a US Will and were to expire in the UK after making the UK yuour Perm Residence then your Will in the US can be contested, considered invalid and automatically be turned over to the Probate Courts. Sucks, I know but to be on the safe side...I would have them drawn up in both countries and I would also make video tapes to leave in a safe deposit box somewhere because they can't dispute You being you on video.
