Robert, good to know that it was a simple process. All holdings are joint except IRAs which are individual. There's nothing else at the moment stateside.

Is a trust, therefore, only advisable in the case where there are assets not held in Joint Tenancy w/ Rights of Survivorship? I could make the IRA beneficiaries US citizens (friends/relatives) or charities, since the IRAs are not the lion's share.
