Imagine this:

An Indian couple living in Washington has two young kids and aging parents back home. They’ve built a comfortable life, own a home, and have savings in both the U.S. and India. But they haven’t created a will or named guardians for their children. One day, a sudden medical emergency strikes. Without a clear plan in place, their assets are frozen in probate court, and their relatives in India don’t have legal authority to care for the kids—or even access important information.

​This situation happens more often than you'd think.

​Without a proper estate plan, immigrant families can face complex legal delays, cross-border confusion, and emotional hardship, especially if potential guardians or heirs live overseas. State laws decide what happens to your assets and your children if no plan exists—and that decision may not reflect your values or intentions.

​Through tools like wills, trusts, healthcare directives, and power of attorney, we help you:

• Decide who will care for your children if you're not here

• Protect your assets from unnecessary taxes or court delays

• Make cross-border planning for India and the U.S. simple and stress-free

• Ensure your voice is heard, even when you’re not able to speak for yourself

At Nexus Law, we bring heart-centered legal guidance to help you create a life worth living and a legacy worth leaving—on both sides of the globe.
