quick q.. have you managed to sort out a will yet for this? As I understand you need a specific will covering this (ex-SA).
I wasn't aware that this was the case, I'll have to do some research on it.
So currently I'm thinking of opening a Saxo account. So for that reason I asked my attorney that drafted our will regarding offshore accounts. It seems that if the offshore account is with a SA registered FSP, then they only need your estate's Executor letter to repatriate the funds and it will form part of your estate. I've confirmed this with Saxo.
However, according to my attorney if the provider is full-on offshore (like Interactive Brokers), then there is no local agent/company and a specific will in that jurisdiction have to be drawn up as an Executor's Letter will not work. Then you have to look at some kind of fiduciary company to assist to draw up a seperate will.
I've picked this up initially in the Fat Wallet episode 51 with Candice Paine. So thought to check with attorneys.
