International Relocation and Tax Planning for High-Net-Worth Individuals: A Legal and Lifestyle Guide for Clients and Their Advisors

Tiberghien is pleased to announce the release of the new Wolters Kluwer book, International Relocation and Tax Planning for High-Net-Worth Individuals: A Legal and Lifestyle Guide for Clients and Their Advisors.

Gerd D. Goyvaerts, Stéphanie Gabriel and Luc Jong served as the Belgian country authors for this comprehensive resource designed for high-net-worth individuals, family offices and professional advisors navigating the complexities of global mobility.

This multi-jurisdictional guide brings together contributions from leading practitioners across more than 48 countries to address the increasingly complex legal, tax and lifestyle considerations associated with cross-border planning and relocation. The book was developed in response to growing global mobility trends and increased demand for coordinated, cross-border advice.

In today’s environment of dynamic tax systems, geopolitical uncertainty and evolving regulatory frameworks, international relocation is no longer a simple change of residence. It is a strategic decision that can significantly impact wealth preservation, family governance and long-term financial planning. This publication positions relocation as an integrated legal, financial and lifestyle decision.

The guide provides a practical, cross-disciplinary framework to support high-net-worth individuals and their advisors in addressing key considerations, including:

  • Tax residency, departure tax and cross-border compliance
  • Wealth preservation and estate planning across jurisdictions
  • Immigration pathways, residency options and citizenship considerations
  • Family, succession and governance planning
  • Lifestyle factors such as healthcare, education, safety and quality of life


This publication reflects a truly global collaboration, bringing legal, tax and lifestyle perspectives into a single resource to support complex cross-border decision-making. Buy your copy on the Wolters Kluwer website by clicking the button below.
