DID YOU KNOW?
An IAPT is the perfect tool for the ultimate in asset protection. In the absence of proof of criminal activity, assets held in an offshore trust are virtually untouchable by US courts for any reason. An IAPT can hold any type of asset and can even be instituted into your estate plan as well.

Our Integrated Asset Protection Trust (IAPT) is the ultimate asset protection tool. It allows you to maintain domestic status unless there is serious lawsuit which threatens to encumber assets in a judgment. At that time, the trust is then moved to an offshore jurisdiction where the US court system has no authority.
As long as it is business as usual, the trust stays domiciled in the US, but if the time comes where it becomes necessary to protect your wealth, there is a discretionary mechanism that allows the already appointed foreign trustee to assume the managing trustee duties and the trust becomes managed offshore where it was previously registered. It creates a significant roadblock to any creditor as it means any litigation must take place in the home country where the trust is registered. In many countries, a bond is required in order to file a lawsuit. By naming your existing living trust (or we can create one for you) as the beneficiary of the IAPT, this creates an additional layer of protection and allows your heirs to avoid probate upon your death. This can save your family time and money to sort your family’s affairs. With our IAPT you will receive:
- One year of consulting from our team of experts
- Preparation and filing of the IAPT documents
- Appointment of your foreign trustee
- One year registration fees
- A deluxe binder with all enclosed documents
