ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, we’re joined by David Lesperance, Managing Director at Lesperance & Associates. With over 30 years of experience advising high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals and their families, David brings an international tax, residency, and citizenship planning perspective to the decisions families face across borders. Our conversation looks at how changing tax policies can prompt families to rethink where they live and hold their assets, the options available to them, and the obligations that accompany a move.
David also addresses how these choices affect everyday family life. A financially sound move needs to work for the people making it, and understanding their wishes is an important part of planning for a future in another country.
