These include using bypass trust provisions to minimize estate taxes for a husband and wife, trusts that allow maximum use of gift tax exemptions through planned giving, and trusts that provide for maintenance and tax free income for a surviving spouse. An APT also avoids the problems, delays and costs of the domestic probate process in the U.S. and other nations.
7. Profitable Investments: An offshore APT is an excellent platform to use to diversify investments and benefit from global tax savings. The asset protection trust permits access to some of the world’s best investment opportunities, without concern for your home nation’s legal restrictions. Offshore foreign stock, bond, and mutual fund trading are not covered by laws such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act or its administrative arm, the SEC. An offshore APT can also purchase attractive life insurance and annuity products not available in the U.S. and other nations.
