Topics A-Z

The following is an alphabetical list of the terms an American encounters when planning, holding, giving away or inheriting assets across the German-American border, in tax-optimized asset planning, estate planning, the taxation of retirement income and of United States investment income, gift tax, the taxes that arise on death, and the settlement of estates. English and German terms are listed together in one sequence, because a cross-border matter is conducted in both languages and the same question is as likely to be asked in one as in the other.

Each term links to its explanation. German terms are explained in English and in German. A few terms link instead to the firm’s full article on the subject.
