Should You Be Considering Establishing a Trust in the United States?

International families may benefit from estate planning in the U.S. for many reasons. However, there are a few indications that make establishing a U.S. trust prudent.

U.S. Trust Indicators

A family owns assets in the United States - Minimize tax liabilities

A beneficiary plans to move to the U.S. - Tax-free inheritance if the source of the inheritance is foreign

A grantor (settlor) or beneficiary is getting married - Nevada Asset Protection protects against divorcing spouses

A beneficiary is applying for U.S. citizenship - Before citizenship is achieved, the beneficiary may utilize international trust strategies that will not be available after citizenship is granted

Why Nevada

Nevada’s trust law is both well-established and well-regarded by industry professionals across the world. Moreover, Nevada’s highest court, the Supreme Court of Nevada, has set precedents supporting Nevada’s trust law and asset protection. Nevada also prioritizes privacy carrying robust privacy provisions, attracting families living in unstable countries, and families that simply want their affairs as private as possible.

Further, Nevada does not tax trusts, and Nevada carries directed trust statutes allowing families to continue using their preferred investment teams. And, because every family wants continuity in their plannings, Nevada’s Dynasty Trust provisions allow planning to span many future generations, up to 365 years.
