However, today with the information superhighway more and more people are finding out that an offshore trust can be established by us without the inherent high cost. There are concerns for all of us as we see our resources come under increasing risk; taxes eating away at our earnings; and the needs to assure funds for education, retirement and health maintenance growing.

Thousands are looking to foreign jurisdictions where taxes are non-existent or minimal. Millions of families rely upon trusts to guard against confiscatory taxes, judgments and claims of creditors. Older people are using trusts to assure comfortable retirement in the face of expected long life and the possibility of ending their days in a nursing care facility.

Young people see in trusts the opportunity to accumulate wealth which otherwise would be limited by taxes, regulation and assessments. It requires little imagination for you to realize how much more you can benefit through a properly established and professionally managed Offshore Trust.

Depending on your citizenship, residency, motives, objectives or dreams, resources can be managed by a trustee offshore to minimize, avoid or delay taxes; encounter no problems with inheritance wishes; and have resources beyond the reach of those who would seek judgements against beneficiaries.
