The Power of U.S. Trusts for International Families

The United States continues to be the jurisdiction of choice for international families because of powerful modern trust law planning tools available in top-tier jurisdictions such as South Dakota, including Foreign Grantor Trusts and Domestic Asset Protection Trusts as well as progressive privacy trust laws and tax planning opportunities. These are just a few of the unique planning solutions available under South Dakota law that are important for families across the globe to consider when selecting the best U.S. trust situs.

As you talk with our team at this year’s institute, we encourage you to ask any questions you have on these planning nuances and learn how Bridgeford Trust Company offers domestic and international families across the country and around the world a conflict-free, personalized, and non-institutionalized approach, embracing a new trust industry paradigm that has emerged.

We hope to see you in California! If you would like additional details about the event, visit STEP OC’s 2024 Institute website at: https://february2024.stepoc.org/.
