My main accounts are still in the states, but the bulk was placed into a "family trust". I don't need much these days, and my grandchildren can get a head start on education and/or houses! The tax code helped me make that decision!
My accounts are in a probate trust. No where big enough for a family trust, yet. So, you just withdraw what you need or are allocated. I take it you don’t live in a little village that has no access to the larger banks? Am I correct in that? Do you still file with the IRS annually? That’s my main concern - the reporting to the IRS!!!!
