Well, remember the first rule of asset protection \u2018what you don\u2019t own cannot be taken from you<\/a>\u2019.

Why use offshore banking?<\/h3>If someone wants these offshore assets they will have to pay a international lawyer and put up a bond for your fees. In most cases, they’re facing rules that make U. S. judgments very difficult or impossible to enforce which makes it not worth it for opponents to go after you.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>
You always want to have an offshore account<\/b> if you do asset protection planning, even though a majority of your money may stay in the United States. You need that account. You need it as a backup.<\/p>
You need it as a place where you can move money and trigger the second rule which is \u201cno country in the world automatically enforces U.S. judgments<\/a>\u201d. You can trigger that rule by simply moving your money abroad. Now, what’s the difference?<\/p>The differences between U.S. and offshore banking are very significant.

Why most offshore banks won’t let you open an account
All these rules have made offshore bank not even want U.S. customers.<\/h3>

They’re not taking U.S. customers. Why are they taking mine?<\/p>
Most foreign banks regard a properly done trust as a different person than the actual individual making the deposit. If they have a problem with the trust, they should be willing to take an account from an LLC or offshore entity owned by an offshore trust. Procuring an account is difficult and we can help you with that.<\/p>
Secret offshore bank accounts do not exist anymore.<\/h3>
Offshore banks have good secrecy when it comes to individuals and civil litigation, but secrecy is dead when it comes to the U.S. government.<\/p>
The know your customer rules, the patriot act, all statutes, the seven money laundering statutes, all of these are things we\u2019ll talk about later; and they all point towards one thing- bank secrecy is dead.<\/p>
If you have a secret, unreported offshore bank account, you are a waiting time bomb about to explode. The ultimate result may be spending some prison time. If you do have an unreported offshore account take care of it. Come clean. Report it.<\/p>
Get an expert to help you with it, and get somebody well-respected because you don\u2019t want to go to jail. It’s considered a serious crime now. The final point I wanted to make about offshore bank accounts is always report your accounts to Uncle Sam<\/a>.<\/p>He\u2019s a ruthless individual when it comes to not telling him everything about offshore accounts.
