Why Choose Offshore Asset Protection?
You’ve worked diligently to build your wealth. However, in today’s litigious environment, your assets are more vulnerable than ever. Business disputes, frivolous lawsuits, divorce settlements, and unexpected creditors can threaten EVERYTHING you’ve built.
An offshore asset protection trust moves your wealth beyond the reach of domestic court orders, providing a formidable shield that ensures your legacy remains intact for you and future generations.
We Work with the Gold Standard in Asset Protection
A trust is only as strong as the laws of its jurisdiction. We specialize in the two strongest jurisdiction options available globally.
The Cook Islands Trust: The World’s Most Secure Asset Fortress
Widely regarded as the strongest asset protection tool available, the Cook Islands Trust offers unmatched security. Its laws are intentionally designed to be protective, making it nearly impossible for creditors to penetrate.
- Impervious to Foreign Judgments: US court orders are not recognized. Any lawsuit must be re-filed from scratch in the Cook Islands, an almost impossible hurdle for creditors.
- Highest Burden of Proof: Creditors face an incredibly high legal bar (“beyond a reasonable doubt”) within a short 1-2 year window to challenge a transfer.
- The Global Gold Standard: Decades of proven, undefeated case law make it the world’s most trusted asset protection vehicle.
The Nevis Trust: A Powerful & Private Alternative
Nevis, a Caribbean nation, offers a cost-effective alternative to the Cook Islands. It provides an exceptional combination of confidentiality and robust asset protection, making it an increasingly popular choice for international investors.
- High Bar for Creditors: A creditor must post a $100,000 USD bond just to file a claim, deterring frivolous lawsuits.
- Confidentiality: Trust details are not publicly registered, ensuring your financial affairs remain completely private.
- Clear Legal Precedent: Nevis law is clear and has a long history of protecting trusts from foreign legal challenges.

What is an Offshore Trust and How Does It Work?
An offshore trust is a legal arrangement where you (the Settlor) transfer assets to an international professional trustee. This legally separates the assets from your personal ownership, placing them beyond the reach of domestic courts.
- The Settlor: The individual who creates the trust.
- The Trustee: A licensed professional firm in the offshore jurisdiction that holds and manages the assets.
- The Beneficiaries: The people or entities who benefit from the trust.
Frequently Asked Questions about Offshore Trusts
Are offshore trusts legal for US citizens?
Absolutely. It is perfectly legal for a US citizen to establish an offshore trust. We’ve worked with many US clients to successfully implement an offshore asset protection solution.
What types of assets can I protect in an offshore trust?
You can place a wide variety of assets into an offshore trust, including cash, securities (stocks and bonds), real estate, limited liability companies (LLCs), intellectual property, and cryptocurrency.
What is the difference between a Cook Islands and a Nevis trust?
Both offer exceptional asset protection. The Cook Islands is often considered the “strongest” due to its specific case law and legal precedents, making it ideal for those facing imminent legal threats or seeking maximum protection. Nevis offers very similar protections, often at a slightly lower cost and with greater privacy, making it an excellent choice for proactive, long-term asset protection planning. The best choice depends on your individual circumstances.
How much does it cost to set up an offshore trust?
Our establishment fee for a premier Cook Islands or Nevis Trust is a flat $10,000. Because of our direct-to-trustee model, you avoid the significant middleman fees charged by US law firms, saving you 50% or more.
Can a trust own an LLC?
Yes. A popular strategy is to have your offshore trust own a US or offshore LLC. This creates a powerful extra layer of privacy and protection for your operating assets.
Who owns the property in an irrevocable trust?
Legally, the trustee owns the property. However, they are legally bound by the trust deed to manage it solely for the benefit of the beneficiaries you name. You can be a beneficiary and, through the role of a Trust Protector, you can retain a significant degree of control over how the assets are managed and distributed.
