Asset Protection

Assets placed into a Cook Islands Trust are fully protected from future creditors. Even if a claim arises later, assets settled into the trust are still protected unless legal action has already begun against the person setting up the trust. Foreign judgements are not recognized in the Cook Islands, a creditor must bring the case before the Cook Islands High Court.

Transfer Protections

Any legal challenges to transfers into the trust must be made within two years of the transfer date. For a claim of fraudulent transfer to succeed, a creditor must prove beyond reasonable doubt in the Cook Islands High Court that the transfer was made with the intent to defraud that particular creditor and had the effect of leaving the settlor unable to meet that creditor’s claim.

Pay Once Approved

Our services are only invoiced once approved. Avoid the risk of paying for a structure that doesn't receive approval.

Privacy

Disclosure of information about international trusts to third parties is prohibited.

Strong Case Law History
