Asset Protection Questions, Answered

Is a Cook Islands trust legal?
Absolutely. Cook Islands trusts are 100% legal and comply with all US tax and reporting requirements. You’re not hiding assets—you’re protecting them with superior laws. I ensure full compliance with FATCA and all US regulations. You report everything; you just don’t lose it in a lawsuit.
How much does it cost?
Cook Islands trust implementation ranges from $35,000–$50,000+ depending on complexity. Domestic trusts range from $15,000–$25,000. We offer a $2,500 assessment (fully credited toward implementation) to determine what you need.
Can I still access my money?
Yes. While you don’t have direct legal control (that’s what creates protection), you work with your trustee to access funds for legitimate purposes. I structure trusts so you can use your wealth for normal expenses while keeping it safe from creditors.
What makes you different from other attorneys?
I’m the only US attorney who lived in the Cook Islands and worked as a trustee in the fiduciary industry. I have insider relationships and knowledge unavailable to any competitor.
Do offshore trusts avoid US taxes?
No. Cook Islands trusts are “foreign grantor trusts” — all income remains fully taxable to you. You report everything to the IRS and pay all taxes owed. The benefit is creditor protection, not tax savings.
