Offshore Investment

Should I form an Anguilla or Nevis trust to hold shares of my offshore company, as well as consider using the trust for other property that I own?

A trust is an excellent tool for both estate planning and asset protection. Anguilla and Nevis have excellent trust legislation which provide for special asset protection and confidentiality.

What about inheritance laws? When I pass away what happens to the property? Will it pass to my wife and children?

There are various tools available to ensure that the property passes on to family members separately from your "on-shore" property. The husband and wife can own the shares of the company jointly.

Why should I own my property in an offshore Company?

Offshore companies are formed for doing all manner of property transactions. Real estate is particularly suitable for offshore companies. It simplifies ownership and is an excellent form of asset protection because it insulates the owner of the offshore company from any personal liability for example to persons who suffered any harm while occupying the property as tenants.
