How do I add overseas assets to my case?

This article will guide you through how to add overseas assets to your case and provide some useful hints and tips.

In the case you are working on:

  • Click the asset tile you want to add. As an example, we are using a holiday home in Spain therefore adding a new Land/building asset:
20220107 L&B asset with side bar and outline
  • Choose to enter the address manually (the address finder will not work for non-UK properties)
20220120 Overseas Asset - property address-1
  • Enter the Executor's estimated value (£) and the Surveyor's formal evaluation (£) in £ sterling (you could use a currency convertor if required)

20220120 Overseas Asset - Values

  • When recording the Asset location, ensure Elsewhere is selected 


20220120 Overseas Assets - Location

❗ Ensure the Asset value is recorded in £ sterling

❗ Ensure the Asset location is recorded as Elsewhere

💡 Selecting Elsewhere as the location allows Exizent to group foreign assets together in court and inheritance tax forms

💡 All other asset tiles work the same, just select Elsewhere as the asset location for any other overseas assets

💡To add these assets into the IHT417 please see this article on generating and completing manual schedules: How do I prepare an IHT400 form and the relevant schedules?
