Tested Strategies

Our Services

Our practice centers around Florida asset protection and Cook Islands trusts.

Florida Asset Protection

We help clients plan around Florida’s exemptions to determine how to best protect any vulnerable assets while considering any fraudulent conveyance issues. This includes reviewing your assets and any current or potential creditor issues, explaining which assets Florida law already protects and which are exposed, and making any recommendations in exemption planning, LLCs, tenancy by the entireties, estate planning, business restructuring, or settlement considerations.

Cook Islands Trusts

We help clients form an offshore asset protection trust. This includes drafting the trust agreement, selecting and working directly with a licensed Cook Islands trustee company, preparing the due diligence file, forming an offshore LLC held inside the trust, and planning the funding. We do not earn commissions or charge an annual legal retainer.
