§ Pricing

Flat fees. No hourly billing.

Asset protection should be priced for the work, not the clock. We quote a single flat fee for the full engagement after we understand your situation — so you know what you’re committing to before you sign.

§ Model

How we price.

Every engagement is quoted as a single flat fee covering the full scope of work: trust drafting, entity formation, trustee and protector coordination, and the funding sequence that gets your assets into the structure.

We don’t bill in six-minute increments. We don’t mark up third-party fees. The number we quote at engagement is the number you pay — and it’s the only legal-fee invoice you’ll see for the core setup.

We believe in full transparency about what your engagement costs and where every dollar goes.

§ The numbers

What it costs.

One-time engagement fee

$25,000

Covers the full Cook Islands Trust setup: drafting, entity formation, trustee and protector coordination, and the funding sequence that moves your assets into the structure. Paid once, at engagement.

Annual fee

$7,000/ year

The annual fee keeps the structure operational. It is split three ways, with each line item going directly to the party providing the service.

  • $5,000

    Trust company

    Trust administration, amendments, adding or removing beneficiaries and successors, distributions, and the operational work of running the trust.

  • $1,500

    Blake Harris Law

    Ongoing legal consultations — questions, reviews, and counsel for the life of the structure.

  • $500

    Trust protector

    Independent oversight of the trustee and the structural safeguards that make the trust durable.

§ Scope

What’s included.

Trust drafting

Custom Cook Islands Trust deed, drafted to your asset profile and goals — not a template. Reviewed and revised until it's right.

Entity formation

Cook Islands LLC (or other entity layer where appropriate) to hold operating assets, with full set of governance documents.

Trustee & protector coordination

Direct introductions to vetted offshore trustees and protectors. We've already negotiated working terms — you skip the discovery cycle.

Funding execution

Real estate, LLC interests, investment accounts, and digital assets transferred into the structure on a sequence that protects your tax position.

Ongoing relationship

Annual reviews, amendments as your circumstances change, and a single point of contact who knows your file. Most clients are with us indefinitely.

§ Variance

When pricing may differ.

$25,000 covers the standard engagement. A small subset of situations involve additional work — quoted transparently before you sign.

01

Asset complexity

A liquid investment portfolio funds differently than a multi-state real estate holding or an active operating business. The legal work scales with the moving parts.

02

Existing structures

If you already have LLCs, trusts, or estate-planning instruments in place, we coordinate with what exists rather than duplicating it.

03

Jurisdictional layering

Most clients are well-served by a single Cook Islands structure. A small subset benefit from multi-jurisdictional layering — additional cost when warranted, but rarely the right call.
