Digital Assets

In this episode, Simon talks about Digital Assets and how to best ensure they are distributed correctly once you've passed away.

We were returning expats, and as such this transaction required additional supporting evidence to meet the requirements of New Zealand's anti-money laundering legislation. Caen not only professionally assisted us to navigate our way through the legal requirements, but did so in a manner that was approachable, friendly and very patient. Based on our experience, we have no hesitation in recommending Caen Chapman-Taylor's professional services.
