With the global currency crisis, existing plight in the banking sectors, unstable political situations, concerted attack on privacy and other hundred problems that are likely to arise in the next few years, it is but wise to take steps in advance of a problem. With the aforementioned enormous ravages, an offshore banking and investments are perhaps the simplest and most effective ways to reduce the risk of losing everything a person has. They are the strongest defenses against bank failures, savings devaluation, seizure of funds and disappearance of properties.
Offshore banking and investment is not just solely for celebrities or spies as what we mostly see on James Bond movies. It is not just for tax evasion as what most politicians do. It is not just for underground economy and organized crimes as what most people know. It can be for anyone who has assets and properties, either personal or commercial, to protect.
Asset protection can be in number of forms but the experts agree that safeguarding assets through offshore trust in a properly selected jurisdiction with strong banking secrecy laws and private legislation is the most effective. In offshore trust, a legal title of the asset is entrusted to a trustee while retaining all the control over the asset. The goal is to preserve the asset by hiding the owner from the creditors, future claims and legal proceedings. Once a person decides to setup an offshore trust to protect his assets, a structure will be made. The type of trust must be selected, the duration of the trust, and other essential decisions on details.
Anyone looking for ways to protect their assets can go for an offshore trust but as with any legal matter, it is important to consult a lawyer or professional offshore asset protection firm. There are many self-proclaimed asset protection experts so it is but wise to check the references first before engaging into any transactions. To make sure that the assets will be handled correctly and legally, work only with a reliable and reputable offshore account and investment firms.
