[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Son is a US citizen? Have him contact the American Citizen Services section of the US embassy there (we'll assume there is an embassy there -- you're not mentiong the country which is unhelpful)  and ask for a referral to a lawyer who handles land stuff. They'll know the ones there who speak English.

When the mother dies, the lawyer finds a local real estate agent to handle the sale. The son comes for closing. If it's a county where banking with the US is restricted (again, this is why we need to know the country!), then have him get a notarized translation into English of the sale documents, and have him carry the cash (converted to USD) back to the US. He needs to declare it along the way but his sale documents will show that it's not dirty money.[/quote]

You can't carry cash back, he's better off having it wired into his bank account.  Again assuming it's in a country that has ties with the US. So we need to know the country.

You absolutely can carry cash back. You just need to declare it coming in, and often going out. I'd only go this route if wiring is not an option.. which is why we need to know the country.[/quote]
