Inhaltsangabe

This is the second edition of Rest in Peace, a Guide to Wills and Inheritance tax in Belgium.

After four years an update was long overdue. There have been numerous changes, in Belgium and abroad, with new inheritance tax rates and rules, the European Succession Regulation, etc...

Estate planning is not just about drawing up a will and finding ways to minimise taxes.
It is essentially about peace of mind.

Smart estate planning can be complex, and if you need to plan across borders, that can be quite daunting.

This book is for you if you live in Belgium and

• you want to understand how the rules work and how you draw up a valid will;
• you live in Belgium and you want to plan your estate in an efficient manner;
• you want to know what happens when you inherit from your parents in Greece;
• your children live in other countries;
• you have property in other countries;
• you have investments and bank accounts in other countries;
• your parents have set up a trust for your benefit.

This book is also for you if you do not live in Belgium and

• you own property in Belgium ;
• you stand to inherit from someone who died in Belgium and you need to understand whether you should accept or waive the inheritance;
• you consider retiring in Belgium;
• you are an official of an international institution and you live temporarily in Belgium;
• you plan your estate and one or more of your children live in Belgium.

This book can help you make sound decisions that could help your loved ones when you are gone.
