Frequently Asked Questions
You've got questions. We've got answers.
What is a Domestic Asset Protection Trust (DAPT)?
A DAPT (or Self-Settled Spendthrift Trust) is a legal instrument that allows you to protect your assets, and lower your tax liabilities by transferring legal ownership of those assets into a Trust. In the eyes of the law, you’d no longer be considered the rightful owner of the property — the DAPT would now hold “legal” title of those assets. A DAPT is considered a separate entity with its own Federal Tax ID, or Employer Identification Number (EIN).
Do I have to give up control of my crypto assets?
No, your crypto Trust Fund can be entirely controlled by yourself. Our platform uses advanced security tools (including multi-party compute) to make sure you safeguard your crypto assets and allow loved ones to access those funds only after you've passed away or become incapacitated.
How can I monitor my trust fund and all the assets held inside of it?
You can log into our trust administration platform to see your trust fund balances in real-time, download annual statements, approve/reject distributions, & more.
When should I create a DAPT?
When you want to invest in crypto (or HOLD) with enhanced security, privacy, & anonymity.
When you want to lower your tax liabilities by sheltering your crypto assets from predatory wealth taxes.
When you want to completely sever yourself from your crypto assets to achieve maximum asset protection against lawsuits, creditors, and divorcing spouses.
When you want to manage your wealth like the über-wealthy.
Can I invest within my Domestic Asset Protection Trust?
Yes, you can do everything you can do when you are not using a Trust Fund. Invest in your favorite cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and more like you've been doing all along, but in the safest way possible.
