Last modified: November 10, 2023

Nevada Trust and Estate Planning Advantages

Last modified: November 10, 2023

Nevada’s Beneficial Trust Laws Set it Apart and Provide Strong but Flexible Protection

When it comes to asset protection and managing estates, Nevada stands alone paving the way for other states. Recent cases, such as Klabacka v Nelson, have set Nevada apart from other states with similarly beneficial trust laws and is allowing Nevada to emerge with the most iron-clad wealth protection available in the U.S.

Nevada should be a serious contender when considering both wealth management and asset protection whether you are a U.S. or non-U.S. citizen. Nevada boasts additional benefits such as Dynasty trust provisions lasting up to 365 years and Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPTs), also known as Self-Settled Spendthrift Trusts (SSST), allowing you to protect your assets and wealth more than any other state.

With the addition of an abbreviated statute of limitations until assets transfer to an SSST and superior protection from creditors, which is unique to Nevada, the advantages of establishing your wealth and assets in the state of Nevada deserve a deeper look.

Using NING Trusts to Significantly Reduce State Income Tax Liabilities

Last modified: November 10, 2023

Why Wealthy Families are Choosing to Shift Their Wealth to the Tax-Favored State of Nevada

The state of Nevada is considered a tax-favored environment, allowing maximum tax protection over trusts and estates. That’s just one of the reasons why more and more people are choosing Nevada to establish their trusts.

The “NING” trust or Nevada Incomplete-gift Non-Grantor trust reduces state income tax liabilities and simultaneously provides asset protection benefits.

For people with substantial income, assets, or large capital gains who could generate significant Federal and state income tax shifting a trust from its current state to a state with more favorable tax laws, such as Nevada, could create significant income tax savings.

While moving to Nevada would allow someone to take advantage of these benefits, relocating family is often not an option. However, by establishing a NING and transferring assets from the existing trust into the NING, the trust will only face Federal capital gains taxes.

Nevada Sets the Benchmark in Asset Protection and Privacy

Last modified: November 10, 2023
Nevada Asset Protection

While Nevada refines asset protection and privacy laws, other states are scrambling to follow suit.

Last month, the New York Times quoted me as they highlighted the many benefits of Nevada trust laws in the context of the Panama Papers and related concerns regarding tax compliance outside of the USA. Unfortunately, the typical wishes for family and financial privacy are, incorrectly, equated with tax evasion in the popular press.

The vast majority of people establishing trusts in Nevada are taxpaying, honest, ethical people who are just seeking privacy for their financial affairs. Nevada is not a home for tax evasion or other financial fraud. The trust companies and financial institutions in our state adhere to very strict and regularly updated state and federal standards regarding illegal financial activities.

Alliance Trust Company of Nevada in The Economist

Last modified: November 10, 2023

Typically well-reasoned and published since 1843, many believe that the Economist is the finest English-print magazine in the world.  The magazine tackles complex global issues with a balance and perspective that only a 170+ year history can provide.

That is why, in the context of the media fury surrounding the “Panama Papers,” the Economist’s suggestion to publish individual global tax returns (April 9th edition) deserved to be publically questioned.  To the credit of the publication, Alliance’s letter to the Editor is published in the April 30th print edition.

In the letter, the President of Alliance Trust argues that no benefit will come from such a disclosure plan or the OCED’s related “Common Reporting Standards.”  The impact of sharing detailed personal financial information with rogue governments around the world will not increase U.S. tax revenues by a cent.  In fact, the only meaningful outcome of the proposals is to violate basic personal privacy significantly increases the physical and financial risk to law-abiding citizens and their families around the world.
