Frequently Asked Question

There can be many reasons for utilizing a trust. However, a Trust is especially useful for tax and estate planning.

Without a Trust, the transfer of ownership to the intended beneficiaries will have to take place through a lenghy and costly probate procedure.

A foreign corporation is useful in protecting a foreign’s person anonymity and privacy with his financial affairs. In addition, accounts which are held in one person’s name are subject to United States probate in the event of the owner’s death. This can result in lengthy delays in distribution to heirs, considerable expenses and often requirement for obtaining foreign legal documents and court orders.
