What makes Nevis LLCs the best for asset protection?

Nevis LLCs offer charging-order-only protection, meaning creditors cannot seize LLC assets or force distributions. There is no requirement for public registration of members, and single-member LLCs are permitted with no annual reporting or audit requirements.

What is the USD 100,000 bond requirement in Nevis?

Before filing suit against a Nevis asset protection trust, creditors must post a USD 100,000 bond with the Nevis court. This is the strongest creditor deterrent globally and makes frivolous claims economically unviable.

How much does a Nevis LLC cost?

A Nevis LLC costs USD 1,500-3,000 to set up plus approximately USD 600 per year for annual renewal. It can be established in 1-3 days.

Can foreign courts enforce judgments against Nevis trusts?

No. Foreign judgments are not recognized by Nevis courts. A Nevis trust has a 2-year statute of limitations on fraudulent transfers, and the trust can be moved to another jurisdiction if threatened.
