You are kidding, right? No way it costs 20000 for a Nevis trust, more like 5k to set up and then another 3k for maintenance. Well worth it if you are trying to safeguard assets, now a Cook Islands trust costs that much as it's expensive and considered the best jurisdiction, in my opinion, with Nevis being a close second.Conversely, it is an optimal approach , or one of the most effective approaches , currently available is insufficient by merely expending USD 1,000 to resolve the issue. It necessitates a comprehensive assessment of the client's present and prospective future needs, thereby enabling the construction of a bespoke solution.
For illustrative purposes, consider a scenario where a client seeks to evade creditors for an amount less than a one hundred thousand US dollars. In such a case, the establishment of a corporate entity might suffice. However, if the client's liabilities amount to one million US dollars or more, or if the client has declared bankruptcy, a Trust could genuinely safeguard their economic and financial well-being. Therefore, an expenditure of USD 20,000.00 for the creation of a trust and corporate entity package, complete with nominee shareholders and directors, in addition to an annual management fee of USD 2,000.00, is considered to be an excellent, straightforward, convenient, and even economical protective measure.
Personally, I don't think the cost is worth what you are getting compared to Nevis, so if I had to pick, I would go with a Nevis trust instead of a Cook Islands one, but those are just my two cents.
