best trust jurisdiction 2025?

[SignalsInTheSmoke]

trying to lock things down for the long haul. estate planning, layered structures, the usual — but 2025’s looking spicy. I need a jurisdiction that doesn’t fold under pressure, respects privacy, and hasn’t gone full snitch mode lately. any of y’all seen major changes or found new safe zones?

Nevis still god-tier for asset protection
trusts there straight up ignore foreign judgments
you could get sued in 10 countries and still sleep fine in your hammock
only downside? if you name yourself trustee you might as well post your SSN

Nevis cool but getting heat lately
saw a FATF side-eye memo calling them “non-cooperative” again
which honestly makes me trust them more

Cook Islands still flexin
strongest firewall against seizure
doesn’t care if the US screams, unless there’s local fraud (and even then you gotta really f*ck up)
wrap it in an LLC and use a domestic protector = armored privacy

Cook’s solid but trust setup fees ain’t cute
and don’t use their banks
separate the trust from custody or enjoy your “routine compliance hold” during an audit year

Switzerland used to be clean but 2025 hit ‘em hard
privacy erosion + weird treaty obligations
you store your wealth in a Swiss trust now, you’re just asking to be catalogued

yeah and now they’re leaking names like a Reddit mod with admin logs
if you still trust Swiss banking law, I got a Bearer Share I’ll sell you

heard Belize took a hit too
they’re on the EU blacklist again, trust sector’s under audit
also, some shady trustee firm vanished with $9M in “client-held real estate entities”

Belize is great if you’re closing in 6 months
long-term? it’s a f*ckin raft in open water
no one’s driving

not enough people talk about Mauritius
low noise, stable laws, no knee-jerk FATCA reactions
and if you structure it under a GBC2, you’re basically running stealth mode under a flag of plausible regulation

Mauritius stays slept on
only issue is you need a local agent who isn’t moonlighting as a yacht broker

one more: Palau
tiny, no treaties, almost no enforcement
only reason they aren’t popular is ’cause no one knows how to find a real provider there
I used them once. the trust name was literally “Blue Shell Holdings.” worked flawlessly.

so we’re lookin at:
Cook = fireproof but pricey
Nevis = lawsuit kryptonite
Mauritius = low radar
Palau = ghost mode
Switzerland = used to be classy, now a leaky faucet

yeah but real talk, the jurisdiction doesn’t matter if your name’s on sh*t
you can have a bulletproof trust in Narnia but if the IRS sees “Grantor: John T. Idiot” they’re comin

final word: if your trust isn’t controlled through at least one nominee director, a second protector, and a layered offshore shelf, you didn’t build it

you just bought an overpriced liability

thread still alive
but if someone says “Delaware trust is enough,” I’m walking into the ocean with my trust deed in hand
