KeatsConnelly Simplifies Choosing a U.S. Property Title for Canadians with New Web Title Service

Sept. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Phoenix, AZ — [September 6, 2012] – KeatsConnelly, the largest cross-border wealth management firm in North America that specializes in helping Canadians and Americans realize their dreams of a cross-border lifestyle has introduced an exciting new website called the Canadian U.S. Title Service.  The purpose of this innovative new site is to provide a low-cost reliable service to assist Canadians purchasing property in the U.S.

Among the more than 15 different ways to hold a title to a U.S. property, only a few are familiar to most Canadians, and a wrong choice comes at a high expense.  Selecting the wrong title can cost an individual and his or her executors additional time, legal costs, income taxes and even nonresident U.S. estate tax.

Prior to the advent of this service by KeatsConnelly, there has not been an easy way for Canadians to sort through the complexities of cross-border property titling simply and easily.  Now, anyone seeking this expert advice can do so, at their own convenience, for a nominal fee of $99.00.  Promocode discounts are available to realtors and builders.  An individual can ask their realtor/ builder for their promocode and save $25.

Features of the service include:

•   Title information that can be taken to the title or escrow company that assists with property purchase.
•   In the instance that persons need asset protection and/or assistance to eliminate U.S. nonresident estate tax, this service will recommend the type of entity with a referral to a cross-border lawyer or U.S. attorney who can create the entity necessary to accomplish the task.  A referral to these professionals can save those using the site hundreds or even thousands of dollars in legal fees because of the pre-negotiated rates for persons using this U.S. title service.
•   Based on present circumstances, users will be notified of whether or not they are subject to U.S. nonresident estate tax under IRS rules in conjunction with the U.S./Canada Tax Treaty.
•   This site can provide referral to a cross-border specialist to prepare the proper Canadian and U.S. tax filings, for those wishing to purchase investment properties or rent out personal use properties.
•   Recommended titles are provided by email in seven to ten business days.

“We are excited to be able to provide the Canadian/U.S. Title Service,” said KeatsConnelly President, Robert Keats.  “Choosing the correct title is crucial for Canadians purchasing property in the U.S., and a wrong decision can have a devastating effect.  This new online tool will offer affordable, convenient guidance to Canadians making or considering a real estate purchase in the U.S.”

The new Canadian/U.S. title service offered by KeatsConnelly went live at the end of August 2012.  For more details or to use the site go to: https://canadianustitleservice.com/.
