As U.S. and global information disclosure regimes proliferate in the wake of the Pandora Papers and other massive data leaks, using trusts in top-tier U.S. trust jurisdictions to obtain privacy and asset protection has never been more urgent for wealthy families around the world.

Recently, David Warren, Co-Founder and Chairman of Bridgeford Trust Company, presented “Modern U.S. Trust Law: Asset Protection and Privacy in a Transparent World.” We encourage you to watch the full presentation below as it discusses:

  • The Pandora Papers and other massive international data breaches and their impact on government regulation as well as calls for greater urgency around transparency in the financial services industry.
  • Information disclosure requirements, both domestically and internationally, with a discussion around CRS, FATCA, and the Corporate Transparency Act.
  • The U.S. emergence as a privacy and asset protection haven for domestic and international families, as well as modern trust law planning tools available to families and their advisors.
  • A comparison of “top-tier” U.S. trust jurisdictions and the vital importance of selecting the proper trust jurisdiction under current statutory guidance and emerging case law.
  • The power of modern U.S. trust law and Private Placement Life Insurance.
