Asset Protection

Asset protection and cross-border ownership

Know where wealth sits before someone else asks. Assets in more than one country are easy to expose if ownership, succession and reporting are left informal. We help you see the picture and put a plan on paper.

Who this is for

Individuals, families and principals who hold companies, property, accounts or other interests in more than one place. People who are about to marry, separate, sell a business, or move country and need to know what that does to ownership.

This is planning work. It is not a promise that a structure will defeat every claim. We say that at the start.

What we do

We map what is owned, who controls it, who benefits, and what happens on death, divorce, a commercial claim or a regulatory request. From there we advise on the documents and arrangements that actually fit the facts.

  • A written picture of where assets sit and who can move them
  • Advice on holding companies, trusts and other structures only where they serve a real purpose
  • Succession and control if a principal is incapacitated or dies
  • A clear no when a proposed structure is more marketing than law

We will not tell you that a vehicle makes you invisible. Reporting rules, tax and the courts of the place where the asset sits still matter.

01

Inventory

You list what is held, where it is held, and who is on the paper today.

02

Risks

We identify the events that would actually put those assets in play.

03

Options

You receive written options, including the choice to leave things as they are.

04

Documents

If you instruct us, we put the chosen arrangement into documents you can follow.

Questions we are asked

No. A structure can organise ownership and succession. It cannot guarantee that a court, a spouse or a creditor will never reach an asset. Anyone who says otherwise is not giving legal advice.

No. We advise on the facts in front of us. If a holding company or a trust is useful, we explain why. If it is not, we say so.

Yes. Bring the documents and a list of the assets. A review of what already exists is often the most useful first step.
