Asset protection is a central concern for high-net-worth families. Structures like international trusts have become increasingly popular as tools for estate planning and asset protection.
A well-structured trust allows for asset segregation, protecting it from business risks, family disputes, and adverse legislative changes. Additionally, it offers flexibility in asset distribution among heirs.
In the United States, there are different types of trusts, each with specific characteristics. Choosing the right structure depends on factors such as family profile, long-term goals, and the jurisdiction of residence of the beneficiaries.
It is fundamental that the implementation of a trust is done with specialized advice, considering both US laws and tax obligations in the country of origin. A poorly planned structure can generate significant tax problems.
