“It has protective power because it conforms to the laws of the jurisdiction you’ve chosen, not the laws of your residence. Also, an International Trust can be perpetual, making it a great vehicle for estate planning. Without the protection of an International Trust, you could lose so much – maybe everything – to an aggressive lawsuit, a willful judge, or a debt-ridden government agency. An International Trust assures your freedom to invest anywhere, no matter what investment restrictions the US might adopt. Currency controls in the US? They can’t touch your International Trust – it’s not in the US. Limitations on capital leaving the country? Your capital already left.”
