Your 10 Biggest Offshore Trust Questions, Answered

You've been asking good questions — and they deserve straight answers. In this video, The Business Guy from Asset Protection Planners and Lawyers Limited answers the ten questions that come up most in the comments and on consultation calls. From setup costs and entity sequencing to how you actually pay yourself from an offshore LLC — and finally, the question everyone's afraid to ask: can a federal judge put you in jail for refusing to bring offshore money back? The answer involves a real Ninth Circuit appellate case, a legal doctrine called the impossibility defense, and a result that will either surprise you or confirm exactly what you suspected about why these structures work. If you have significant assets at risk — from lawsuits, creditors, business disputes, or divorce — this is 20 minutes that could change how you think about protection.
