Our Services
Areia Global offers tax and estate planning for Americans moving to Portugal. Our mission is to ease the transition through actionable guidance that reflects the unique considerations of global Americans.
-
Americans are always subject to U.S. tax regulations no matter where they live, so early planning is key to reducing double taxation and staying compliant with U.S. tax rules.
-
For Americans moving to civil law countries like Portugal, estate planning requires more than standard wills and trusts. To ensure intended bequests and avoid unfavorable tax consequences, integrated cross-border strategies are essential.
-
Renouncing U.S. citizenship is a significant step with serious tax implications, including the possible application of an exit tax. Areia Global provides strategic guidance to help clients navigate this process carefully.
-
We provide ongoing advisory services to high-net-worth families on cross-border U.S. tax matters including planning for major transactions, structuring foreign investments, and managing cross-border trusts.
-
For our professional counterparts, we offer tailored trainings, webinars, and workshops to help legal, financial and advisory teams understand how U.S. tax laws impact their American clients and cross-border activities.
-
For our professional counterparts, we offer clear, practical white papers ranging from memos to technical guides to help teams stay compliant, inform clients, and support business growth amid ever-changing U.S. regulations.
