Advanced Asset Protection Structures

Strategic protection for property portfolios, business assets, investments, and generational wealth — using trusts, companies, and legally sound structures.

Protect what you’ve built — legally, strategically, effectively.

Our asset protection frameworks are built around risk reduction, estate planning alignment, tax efficiency, and long-term control. We tailor structures for investors, business owners, trusts, companies and families seeking resilience and longevity.

Trust Structuring

Family trusts, business trusts, inter vivos trusts and multi-trust frameworks for layered protection.

Company Formation

Using companies, subsidiaries and holding entities to ring-fence risk and protect operating assets.

Hybrid Structures

Tax-efficient combinations of companies + trusts to create legal, financial and liability separation.

Understanding Your Risk and Protection Landscape

Asset protection is not about hiding assets. It is about understanding where risk sits, how claims can arise and how structures, contracts and planning can separate and manage that risk.

Marriages, divorces, new partners and blended families altering how assets should ultimately devolve.

Marital property regime consideration, trusts, updated wills and inter vivos arrangements.

Estate liquidity & forced sales

Illiquid estates with property and business interests but insufficient cash to settle taxes and costs.
