Preserving Wealth
You have worked hard to build wealth, and preserving it comes with an array of complex tax and legal considerations. Northern Trust’s specialized trust services can help.
Our specialized trust services in Delaware and Nevada can help residents and non-residents take advantage of tax-efficient and flexible trust solutions not available in other U.S. states.
Delaware & Nevada Trusts
Explore the Unique Advantages
Wealth Enhancement
Assets transferred into a dynasty trust can benefit generations of your descendants without incurring gift, estate or generation-skipping transfer taxes.
Potential State Income Tax Savings
Delaware and Nevada do not impose any state income tax on income accumulated in, and capital gains realized by, an irrevocable trust.
Investment Flexibility
Directed trusts allow a trustee to be directed on investments, distributions or any other matter
Asset Protection
Allows individuals to create self-settled trusts that protect their assets — especially intangible assets — from claims of unforeseen creditors.
Pre-Mortem Validation
Provides a method to achieve validation of a trust before the grantor’s death.
High Level of Confidentiality
Permitting trustees to withhold information about the trust from beneficiaries for a designated period of time.
