We explain the three crucial taxpayer categories—U.S. citizens, U.S. domiciliaries who aren’t citizens, and non‑resident non‑citizens—how domicile is determined, and why U.S. situs assets (like U.S. real estate or U.S. stock) can trigger estate tax exposure. We then explore how treaties can dramatically reshape outcomes—highlighting the U.S. treaties with Australia and Canada—plus common planning issues like transfers to non‑citizen spouses and QDOTs. The key takeaway: your citizenship, intent to reside, and where assets sit determine whether your legacy faces tiny or massive U.S. tax bills, so careful cross‑border planning is essential to avoid costly surprises.
