What is an offshore asset protection trust?
An offshore asset protection trust is a legal entity created in a jurisdiction outside of New Jersey that provides asset protection for individuals who wish to protect their assets from creditors and litigants. This trust works by placing assets into a trust and placing them outside of the jurisdiction of the legal jurisdiction the trustor resides in. As a result, the assets are protected from creditors. For example, if a trustor has money, property, investments, or other assets, they can put these assets into an offshore asset protection trust. This trust would then be located in a foreign jurisdiction. The trustor can then manage the trust from New Jersey, but the assets are protected from creditors and cannot be seized or liquidated. Offshore asset protection trusts also provide a great tax shelter because the trust is located in a foreign jurisdiction with different tax laws and regulations. This can allow the trustor to save a significant amount of money in tax payments. Additionally, these trusts allow the trustor to remain anonymous and protect their identity and finances from public scrutiny. Finally, an offshore asset protection trust can provide asset protection for an individual and their assets in the case of a lawsuit or other litigation. By placing assets outside of New Jersey jurisdiction, these assets are not liable for any judgments made against the trustor.
