Cross-border citizenship can bring continuing tax, estate and administrative considerations for families living outside the United States, Cardinal Point Wealth Management said in an article published on October 25, 2026.
Cross-border citizenship and family obligations
The advisory firm’s article examines planning questions for dual citizens and families with connections to Canada and the United States. It points to recent changes involving automatic Selective Service registration for eligible young male U.S. citizens as an example of a requirement that can matter even to people living abroad.
The firm describes that change as narrow, but says citizenship can have wider implications regardless of where a person lives. For U.S. citizens in Canada, the issues discussed include tax reporting, estate planning and future mobility.
Renunciation and longer-term decisions
The article also considers renouncing U.S. citizenship. The firm identifies potential expatriation tax exposure, reporting requirements, future U.S. mobility and the ability to pass citizenship to later generations as factors to consider.
Cardinal Point characterizes renunciation as a permanent decision and says it should be assessed as part of broader planning rather than in response to a single administrative or policy change.
