IAPT
Integrated and Domestic Asset Protection Trust (IAPT)
Proper offshore banking and overseas bank accounts are one of the keys to financial freedom and asset protection strategies for individuals and business owners. One of the main goals of using an offshore entity is Asset Protection as well as general international business. By using an IBC in conjunction with a bank account as well as a trust if required, asset protection can be achieved.
Integrated and Domestic Asset Protection Trust (IAPT)
IAPT can be termed as a hybrid trust that amalgamates the advantages of a local revocable trust with the wealth and asset protection of an offshore trust at the times of subjective needs.
An IAPT is the ultimate asset protection tool for American clients. It allows you to maintain domestic status unless there is serious lawsuit which threatens to encumber financial assets in a judgment. At that time, the trust is then moved to an offshore jurisdiction where the US court system has no authority. The main features of IAPT are:
- International Asset Protection Trust has a U. S. Managing Trustee.
- IAPT has an offshore Custodian Trustee or Standby Trustee.
- IAPT also has a U.S. Protector.
- IAPT must have a foreign registration in an asset protection county.
- In an IAPT it is needed that you state noticeably in the trust document that the trust is a U.S. Grantor Trust for tax purposes.
As long as it is business as usual, the living trust stays domiciled in the US, but if the time comes where it becomes necessary to protect your wealth, there is a discretionary mechanism that allows the already appointed foreign trustee to assume the managing trustee duties and the trust becomes managed offshore where it was previously registered. It creates a significant roadblock to any creditor as it means any litigation must take place in the home country where the trust is registered.
In many countries, a bond is required in order to file a lawsuit. By naming your existing living trust (or we can create one for you) as the beneficiary of the IAPT, this creates an additional layer of protection and allows your heirs to avoid probate upon your death. This can save your family time and money to sort your family’s affairs.
