Florida Trust & Probate Attorneys Blog
By Phillip B. Rarick, Miami Asset Protection Attorney
An increasingly popular off-shore asset protection jurisdiction is Nevis Island. Nevis has enacted modern, strong trust and limited liability company (LLC ) laws exceptionally difficult to penetrate by any creditor.
For example, to attack an interest in a Nevis Island LLC, a Florida creditor has to go to a Nevis court to get a charging lien. It is unclear whether a Nevis Court would even recognize a Florida judgment: Officials in Nevis have told one commentator they know of no instance where a U.S. creditor has obtained a charging lien in Nevis to enforce a U.S. judgment.
Using a Nevis LLC, you can retain control of your assets as the LLC manager. You can invest anywhere in the world. You can use a Nevis LLC to hold your U.S. bank accounts, or if you like, you can invest in a Swiss or London bank, or any bank in the world.
So where is this place? Nevis Island is located southeast of the Virgin Islands. It is part of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. It is an active member of the British Commonwealth and United Nations. It has a stable democracy based upon British law.
Conclusion
A Nevis Trust used in combination with a Nevis LLC can help provide a complete and secure estate plan to care for your family and loved ones. Properly structured and established in a timely fashion, this plan will help keep your assets protected in these uncertain times.
