When the lawsuit is finally completed in the US, the statute of limitations in the Cook Islands bars the suit. The Cook Islands is the most favorable location for your offshore asset protection trust formation. A US(or other location) has no jurisdiction over foreign controlled citizens. The judge cannot compel the foreign trustee to release funds to your judgment creditor. These islands that allow asset protection trust formation are extremely protective of trusts.

In some of these foreign jurisdictions, numerous obstacles are placed for those attempting to bring litigation to an asset protection trust. In Nevis, a judgment creditor must put up a $25,000 deposit before a suit can be placed against your asset protection trust.

If only the settlor had signatory rights, the judge in the settlor’s jurisdiction the settlor would be legally required to heed the command to return of the offshore funds.
