The second are our Project Management Trusts, a unique process for use by corporate entities seeking to protect project investors. Both services may make use of our trust account services and international companies.

These Ultra flexible legal structures provide numerous advantages to settlors and beneficiaries alike. The settlor or grantor of a trust is the person who establishes the trust with a qualified trust service or Trustee.

Our unique trust service provide an affordable solution for creating a proper legal structure that allows you, or the Settlor or Grantor of the trust, to enjoy an affordable and versatile structure for your beneficiary. Our Asset Protection Trusts are a safe and cost effective way of creating a nest egg for a rainy day without bleeding away your hard earned money due to excessively high maintenance charges.

The Single greatest obstacle stopping the average person from establishing an asset protection trust is the cost. Average set up fees range from $3,500 USD to $20,000 USD. Annual maintenance fees of $1,500 USD to $4,000 USD are common. It doesn't have to be this way! We offer the most affordable asset protection trust services in the world. There is no need for exorbitant set up fees or annual maintenance costs when you establish an asset protection trust with us.

Our Grantor services resolve issues for residents of some jurisdictions, who may be required to reveal whether they are the grantor of a foreign trust. We can provide Grantor services for those who wish to achieve additional privacy, or who for legal reasons cannot be the Grantor of a foreign trust in their home jurisdiction. These Trusts let a third party establish a Trust with you as the beneficiary. The only assets are the shares of your international company or Costa Rican company (S.A.). You are then granted a Power of Attorney to manage the affairs of your international Costa Rican company.
