Before you book that one-way ticket, have you asked your brokerage what happens to your accounts when you move abroad?
Otto Rivera, EA, CFP® breaks down a reality most US expats discover too late: every custodian and broker dealer has completely different policies for international clients. Some will follow you abroad without missing a beat. Others will give you a deadline to move your assets or close your accounts entirely.
And even if your custodian lets you stay, the rules change. As a non-US resident, you cannot purchase new mutual funds. You can hold what you already own and let it keep reinvesting, but adding to a mutual fund strategy after the move is off the table.
The solution? Start asking questions before you move, not after.
