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.

Essentially a trust is a will substitute and can easily provide for the seamless passing of property from one generation to the next thereby avoiding probate. Because of the trust’s flexibility it can be used for a variety of purposes.
