The strategies outlined in this website all use a core structure called a Minerva Trust which Wealth Protection International is licensed to represent in all its forms. You can
download a sheet which expands on the Minerva Trust and its background and the use of trusts and trustees in general.
A trust is a convenient way of divorcing the individual or a business from the ownership of their assets and income streams. The use of trusts in this way is a legitimate means of restructuring matters so that taxation is limited or legally avoided altogether.
Any trust is specified by the Trust Deed which in Minerva's case is carefully prepared by specialist lawyers with input from the chosen firm of professional trustees and of course the client for whom we are acting. Thus the trust deed will properly represent everything the client wishes to achieve and the Trustees can be sure that matters can be managed by them in line with the clients' future needs.
Trustees manage the assets under their Trusteeship with discretion; this means that there is some degree of flexibilty and latititude in how they view requests from the client in the future - however, in spite of this some people are still unhappy with the idea of "surrendering" their assets to trustees, so we offer an alternative option whereby the client can instead manage and control the assets in the trust as an on-shore fiduciary in the form of a personal management company. Here is a sheet which
summarises this mechanism.
The use of the Minerva Trust arrangement is a key factor in ensuring that the degree of wealth protection required is achieved. Minerva is NOT
too good to be true, it is just quite simply true.
