NY Flushing Queens, Manhattan immigration Lawyer Attorney news Marriage Family Sponsor green card Extension Citizenship reentry permit invite parents

A green card holder’s inheritance process does go through a somewhat different procedure than a citizen’s. To prevent a foreign green card holder from easily moving U.S.-based assets abroad, the U.S. requires setting up a trust account, and the inheritance process is managed through that trust account.
