Eternally grateful.

Mr. Alper was a beacon of hope to my family and me at a time when the options appeared to be limited and the likelihood of a good resolution, after 7 years of litigation, seemed impossible.

A Cook Islands trust works by placing assets under the control of an independent trustee in the Cook Islands, protecting them from foreign judgments and creditors. These trusts offer strong asset protection, confidentiality, and require legal proceedings to occur in the Cook Islands, making it difficult for outsiders to access or seize assets.

Our attorneys charge a base fee of $15,000 to set up a Cook Islands trust. Additional customizations sometimes increase the cost.

We only work with longstanding trustee companies that meet all of the legal requirements to be registered trust companies in the Cook Islands. These requirements include minimum capital and ensure the trust assets are professionally managed.

The Cook Islands trust companies we work with carry professional indemnity insurance for over $5 million per claim. The insurance policies are underwritten by Lloyds in the UK.
