Why Wyoming Trust?
A Wyoming Qualified Spendthrift Trust (QST) offers powerful domestic asset protection combined with exceptional tax advantages and privacy. Wyoming allows the settlor to remain a discretionary beneficiary while still protecting assets from creditors, making it one of the most flexible DAPT structures available.
Note for U.S. citizens: The U.S. taxes citizens on worldwide income regardless of residence. A Wyoming Trust provides asset protection benefits, but does not eliminate U.S. tax obligations. Proper reporting is required.
