Asset Protection
Aspects of Offshore Investing - Click
Here - By: J. Richard Duke - The offshore trust is implemented
as a primary means of escaping the litigious society in the U.S and the
U.S. court system in general. However, knowledgeable persons in the
U.S. are learning that offshore trusts may also be used as a means for
investing in international markets without restriction.
Bank Secrecy
Waiver Agreements: The Confidentiality Exception - Click
Here - By Paul Zaleski - Some financial institutions
consider the waiver a preventive tool and part of their due diligence procedures.
If clients agree to waive their rights in cases where law enforcement authorities
are conducting an investigation, it is an additional indication that the
client has nothing to hide. "It's a risk management issue for the
banks," says Jones.
Choosing
an Offshore Trustee - Click
Here - By: Denis A. Kleinfeld - A successful trust plan
requires the right trustee. The quality of services available in
any offshore jurisdiction can be quite varied. Many persons or organizations
offering trustee services have beautiful brochures and impressive marketing
materials. Reliance on a brochure, however, is not due diligence.
Of primary importance are references from offshore professionals or clients
who have actually used the services and can confirm the particular trust
company's reputation.
Digital
Certificate Authorities: Authentication of Documents, Transactions and
People - Click
Here - By Paul Zaleski - Imagine being able to buy an offshore
property simply by sending digital documents back and forth between lawyers
and financial institutions. That beachfront property you saw on the
last visit to your favorite tropical island could be yours in a matter
of hours, rather than months.
Encrypted
Messages: Uncertainty surrounds the treatment of private communications
- Click
Here - By: Jesse J. Henry - Investing and carrying on
business through an offshore jurisdiction can offer many advantages to
international investors and business people based in the United States.
Privacy is one of the most important benefits sought from the offshore
finance industry, and the ability to ensure private communications is essential. |

101: The Nuts and Bolts of Going Offshore - Click
Here - By Mark A. Heard - Wilson says the British Virgin
Islands may offer cheaper incorporations, but because they are more risk
averse, they have been "slow to the mark" on the establishment of
acquiring banks needed by possible Internet merchants. Antigua, Dominica,
Nevis and St. Kitts provide gaming licenses not available in other jurisdictions,
but these centers may also be more susceptible to risk. Many centers
are currently ironing out relevant legislation to facilitate e-commerce
transactions. "The business must do its homework," says Wilson.

Life Insurance in Wealth Preservation Strategies - Click
Here - By: William D. Kornreich and Robert M. Burkarth III -
A certain cachet exists regarding offshore investing and planning that
seems to imply that it is only the purview of the super-wealthy, cloaked
in practiced secrecy, hushed whispers and knowing winks. For estate
planning purposes, suitability is determined more on citizenship and residency
status of the donor/grantor and heir/beneficiary than the size of the hypothetical
offshore bank account. This article addresses options for the U.S.
domestic and non-U.S. donor/insured to preserve wealth for the U.S. domestic
and/or non-U.S. heir/beneficiary.
Offshore
Reporting: Moving Beyond a Wink and a Nod - Click
Here - By Mark A. Heard - Conflicts in offshore
jurisdictions can arise between "know your customer" and "code of conduct"
rules and the confidentiality laws in place to protect those same clients'
financial privacy. In many offshore centers it is a crime to divulge
financial information unless there is suspected criminal activity such
as money laundering (for some, tax evasion is not a criminal offense).
International pressure is changing the scope of proactive regulation offshore,
and it is likely the onus of suspicious activity reporting will extend
well beyond banking to any number of client services.
Offshore
Variable Insurance Contracts: A Powerful Planning Tool - Click
Here - By Denis A. Kleinfeld - ...offshore insurance policies
offer a level of security not available domestically. In the Cayman
Islands, for example, the underlying insurance law provides that assets
held in the segregated asset accounts of an insurance company will not
be subject to the claims of the insurance company's creditors. Assets
held in these segregated asset accounts can only be paid to the policy
owner in the event of the liquidation of the insurance company.
The Risks
of Offshore E-Commerce and How to Insure Them - Click
Here - By Mark A. Heard - If something goes wrong with
the cash register at the corner store, it's fairly easy for the parties
involved to navigate around the problem and make that transaction for a
carton of milk. However, when that corner store is an e-commerce
company based in Singapore with a potential client in Ireland and a crashed
server, well, it's a little more complicated than just digging in a pocket
for exact change.
