Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a trust and a company for asset protection?
A trust holds assets on behalf of beneficiaries without the need for shareholders, providing greater flexibility and privacy. A company creates a separate legal entity that can own assets, offer liability protection, and facilitate operational activities. Many of our clients use a combination of both.
How quickly can a trust be established?
A straightforward trust structure can typically be established within 2-5 business days once all required documentation and due diligence information has been received. Complex multi-party or multi-jurisdictional structures may take longer.
Which jurisdictions offer the strongest asset protection laws?
Jurisdictions such as The Bahamas, Nevis, Cayman Islands, BVI, Isle of Man, and Jersey have particularly robust asset protection legislation. The optimal choice depends on your specific circumstances, domicile, and assets.
Can existing assets be transferred into a trust?
Yes, assets can be transferred into a trust through a process known as "settlement." We advise on the timing, valuation, and legal mechanics of transferring various asset classes into trust structures.
