Private Trusts

At ASN Consulting, we help individuals and families establish private irrevocable trusts, also known as express trusts, to secure and protect their assets. By leveraging the power of trusts, you can ensure the privacy and protection of your wealth for generations to come while staying shielded from unnecessary legal claims and taxation.

​

What is a Private Irrevocable (Express) Trust?

​

A private irrevocable trust, often referred to as an express trust, is a legal structure that allows the settlor (the creator of the trust) to transfer assets to a trustee, who manages those assets on behalf of the trust’s beneficiaries. Unlike revocable trusts, an irrevocable trust cannot be modified or revoked once established, offering unparalleled asset protection and legal security.

By using **common law**—as opposed to statutory law—private irrevocable trusts ensure total privacy for the settlor, trustee, and beneficiaries. This type of trust **does not require public registration and operates outside of government interference, allowing you to protect your wealth in a private, secure manner.

​

​

Why Choose an Irrevocable Trust?

​

Implementing a private irrevocable trust is one of the most effective strategies to safeguard your assets and ensure your legacy is protected. Here’s why:

​

1. Maximum Asset Protection
Once assets are placed in an irrevocable trust, they are no longer considered part of your personal estate. This means they are protected from creditors, lawsuits, government claims, and probate. By transferring ownership to a trustee, you retain indirect control over your assets while ensuring they remain out of reach from external threats.

​

2. Absolute Privacy
Because an irrevocable trust operates under common law, it is not subject to the same public registration requirements as statutory trusts. Your assets and financial dealings remain private, protecting them from public scrutiny and unwanted attention.

​

3. Tax Efficiency
Properly structured, irrevocable trusts offer substantial tax benefits. Assets in the trust are not part of your taxable estate, allowing you to reduce estate taxes and potentially avoid capital gains taxes. With expert planning, an irrevocable trust can significantly enhance your overall tax efficiency.

​

4. Generational Wealth Transfer
An irrevocable trust allows you to pass on wealth seamlessly to future generations without the delays and expenses of probate court. You can specify exactly how and when beneficiaries receive assets, ensuring your legacy is managed according to your wishes.

​

5. Protection in Commerce

Private trusts can also be utilized in commercial settings, shielding your business assets and intellectual property. This structure ensures that your business or personal commercial endeavors are protected from lawsuits or other legal actions, giving you complete control over how those assets are used in the marketplace.

The Power of a Trust Web

​

For those looking for enhanced asset protection and financial flexibility, we offer the option of creating a Trust Web. A Trust Web is a system of interconnected trusts, each serving a distinct purpose—such as holding real estate, managing investments, or operating businesses. By strategically spreading assets across multiple trusts, you create an additional layer of protection that minimizes risk and ensures the security of your wealth.

​

Each trust within the web can have different trustees and beneficiaries, allowing you to fully customize how your assets are managed and transferred. The result is a dynamic and flexible financial strategy that adapts to your needs and provides a fortress of protection for your wealth.

​

How Trusts Operate in Commerce

​

Private irrevocable trusts are not only powerful for protecting personal wealth but also operate effectively in the realm of commerce. Assets placed in these trusts are shielded from claims while being fully available to generate wealth and income.

​

For example, by placing business assets, intellectual property, or real estate holdings into a private trust, you retain control of these assets while keeping them protected from potential litigation, government intervention, or creditor claims. This approach enables you to leverage your assets for profit and growth while keeping them safeguarded.
