How Non-Resident Aliens can Minimize U. S. Death Taxes

March 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Denver, Colo.  –   The German American Chamber of Commerce in Colorado presents a business luncheon seminar addressing U.S. death taxes and their impact on non-resident aliens.

Attorney Michael Barry of the Anton Law Group will discuss how U.S. inheritance tax laws apply to non-resident aliens who own property in the United States and what can be done to minimize this often unexpected tax trap.

The death or estate tax in the United States is a tax imposed on the transfer of the "taxable estate" of a deceased person, whether such property is transferred via a will, according to the state laws of intestacy or otherwise made as an incident of the death of the owner, such as a transfer of property from an intestate estate or trust, or the payment of certain life insurance benefits or financial account sums to beneficiaries. The estate tax is one part of the Unified Gift and Estate Tax system in the United States.

Cost for this business luncheon which includes lunch is $25 for members of the GACC-CO (and affiliated organizations) and $30 for non-members.

Reservations are required for this event. The business networking luncheon, open to the public, will be held at the Avenue Grill on 17th Avenue in Denver at noon on March 24, 2011. Reservations are recommended via email to: Maricle (at) GACC-CO.org or via telephone to 303 837-1146. More info and online registration at www.gaccco.org.
