Does a divorce, will, inheritance or family-property issue involve mainland China? Discuss what needs to be dealt with in China and the work required for your next step.
Inheritance and assets in China
A family member has died, or you need to understand how a will or estate affects assets in China. The initial work can identify the relevant assets, documents, parties and possible procedures.
Overseas divorce documents
You need advice on the China-side effect or use of a foreign divorce document. The review starts with the result you need in China and the nature of the document or existing proceedings.
Cross-border family property
A marriage or family-property issue involves more than one jurisdiction. Where company interests are relevant, Adrian Liu can assist with agreed corporate questions, after the client and respective responsibilities have been identified.
What an initial review can provide
A review can set out the China-side issues, missing documents, procedural options and proposed next stage. Where the required task is already clear, the proposal can address that work directly.
Court work, translation and advice on other jurisdictions are identified separately in the engagement.
Working with your overseas adviser
Your overseas lawyer can enquire on your behalf. Communication, authority to share information and responsibility for each part of the matter are agreed at the outset.
A safe way to begin
Use an email address that is safe for receiving a reply. You may specify a safe contact time. A brief summary is enough to start; please do not send identity documents, children’s information, a complete will or detailed financial records through the first enquiry.
Submitting an enquiry does not establish representation or start deadline monitoring. Do not leave immediate safety concerns or urgent deadlines pending while awaiting a reply.
Adrian Liu receives initial enquiries and coordinates English communication with June Zhang. The responsible lawyer and communication arrangements are confirmed before engagement.
