From the Author

One of the most important decisions you'll ever make with your finances is whether to establish an asset protection plan. Your ongoing personal and family security and welfare could be greatly influenced by your decision. Asset protection, simply defined, is the process of organizing one's assets and affairs in advance to safeguard them against risks to which they otherwise might be exposed. Think of asset protection planning if you will, as another form of insurance. Your assets' defenses can only protect you if you erect them well before there is any sign of a legal problem. Financial Planning involves one preparing for future needs and contingencies. In this regard, offshore trusts are worth considering for the financial planning of anyone with considerable assets to manage and protect. In today's increasingly complex society, anyone with enough wealth to make an attack on it worthwhile, whatever the source of such an attack may be, is a potential target. The key is to plan well in advance, establish appropriate protective obstacles, such as an offshore trust, and consider carefully all the issues which could compromise your assets' defenses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great financial talent, May 17, 1999

This review is from: Protect Yourself From Prying Eyes: How to Form and Use Offshore Trusts (Ring-bound)
As I said in my book, The Offshore Update, published by Eden Press:

Of all the financial experts who have demonstrated literary talent, Adam Starchild is perhaps the least appreciated. This is unfortunate because Starchild is not only a lucid writer -- he is also a credible and conscientious reporter working in an area that until recently has belonged in the same chapter of financial literature with Fort Knox, Howard Hughes, and the Gnomes of Switzerland.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Offshore Trust, October 30, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Protect Yourself From Prying Eyes: How to Form and Use Offshore Trusts (Ring-bound)
Establishing a trust is often a useful method of centralizing control of your assets during your lifetime. You may wish to establish a trust for your heirs or for your own benefit. The method you select to pass your assets on to your heirs can make all the difference in your tax position.

Trusts are a means both of reducing tax liability and of simplifying inheritance. For those not familiar with the concept, a trust or a settlement, as it is sometimes known, may be defined as a document made between a person desiring to create a trust (settlor) and one or more persons or corporations willing to act as a trustee (the trustee) in which certain assets or property (the trust fund) are declared to be held for the benefit of certain third parties (the beneficiaries).

The procedure to establish an international trust is relatively easy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Protect Yourself From Prying Eyes, May 20, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Protect Yourself From Prying Eyes: How to Form and Use Offshore Trusts (Ring-bound)
Gee, I gotta say that I disagree with the other reviewers. I was expecting a LOT more from this book. Most of what I read is available for free on the web. That left about 4 pages that I could use. ( I'm glad for those 4 pages. ) But 218 pages of double spaced typeweritten text could probably be condsensed to 50 pages in regular type, subtract 30% fluff and filler (like personal recommendations for alternatives to trusts) leaves a very quick read. One afternoon should do it. I think its WAY overpriced. I don't need the 'free' newsletter, or the 'free' trust thats included. Caution is advised.
