Trusts can be an effective means of protecting a family’s assets from inside or outside their country of domicile, since the assets are protected by a Trustee. Similarly, Foundations can be used for asset protection, and they are ideal for the pursuance of philanthropic, artistic, scientific, literary, or educational objectives.
