When people think about U.S. immigration, they often focus on visas and green cards. However, pre-immigration tax planning can be just as important.
At the Law Offices of Abraham Benhayoun in Aventura, we help clients understand how their global assets, income, and investments may be taxed once they become U.S. residents.
Why Timing Matters
Many high-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurs decide to relocate first and address taxes later. Unfortunately, once you have entered the U.S. and established residency, your worldwide income becomes taxable here. The result can be avoidable double taxation or compliance challenges that follow you for years.
By planning before you arrive, you can legally minimize exposure, structure assets efficiently, and make your transition smoother. It is about protecting both your finances and your peace of mind.
Collaborating Across Borders
Our firm often coordinates with international tax advisors to ensure every piece of your plan aligns. We review how ownership interests, trusts, or business holdings may be treated under U.S. law so you can enter the country with confidence.
One client recently shared, “Abe took the time to explain every step of the process and gave me total confidence before making my move.” Another said, “He is incredibly knowledgeable and made complex legal and tax issues easy to understand.”
Who Benefits Most
If you own foreign property, operate an international business, or have significant investment income abroad, pre-immigration tax planning can preserve wealth and prevent unnecessary stress. Even those pursuing EB-1 or EB-2 visas benefit from understanding how professional achievements and compensation will be taxed once here.
As one client noted, “He is not just an attorney; he is a guide who genuinely cares about your future.”
Plan First, Move Second
Before taking the final step toward U.S. residency, schedule a consultation to discuss your full immigration and tax picture. The right plan today can save years of frustration tomorrow.
