“In Silicon Valley one-third of our residents are immigrants, nearly half of our
workforce is foreign-born.”
Most will live and accumulate assets in California and decide to retire partially and indefinitely in their country of origin. Some have a nonresident alien visa
or “green card” and some have been naturalized.
Finally, some own or will inherit assets overseas.

Does this look familiar? If it does, you may ask
yourself these questions:

How do I plan my retirement, knowing that I want to spend six months in the US and six months in Europe?

Can I cumulate my US and European Social Security pensions?

I have a testament in France but none in the US; what if I die in the US?

What foreign exchange options do I have when I send or bring in money, considering how expensive the Euro will cost me?

Will I be taxed in Europe and in the US?

Mr. Thierry Gabadou, VP International Clientele Manager at Bank of the West and President of Union des Francais de l’Etranger, San Francisco (www.ufesf.org) along with a panel of experts, cordially invite you to a workshop about life and retirement in several countries. Covered topics will include International Estate Planning, International Taxation, Foreign Exchange, global retirement, and more.
