Asset Protection Trusts

Structure

Asset protection trusts are legal instruments designed to shield wealth from future creditors and legal claims. These irrevocable structures involve transferring asset ownership to a trustee for the benefit of designated beneficiaries. In the digital asset sphere, this entails placing cryptocurrencies, tokenized derivatives, or associated private keys under the trust’s legal control. The objective is to legally separate the settlor from the assets, thereby insulating them from personal liabilities.
