Cook Islands Trust Webinar — May 14th

This Cook Islands Trust webinar is a free educational session hosted by Attorney Blake Harris, going live on May 14th, 2026 at 1:00 PM Eastern. The session walks through how offshore asset protection actually works — no pitch, no pressure.

The goal is to give you a clear, honest picture of one of the offshore asset protection structures available to U.S. residents — so you can make an informed decision about whether it's right for your situation.

What you will learn

The webinar will cover the six questions that come up most often when people are first evaluating offshore asset protection:

• Why the Cook Islands Trust is a foundational tool in offshore asset protection planning for U.S. residents
• How the trust legally shields assets from lawsuits, creditors, and judgments — and why U.S. courts cannot reach them
• Who benefits most from this structure, and who may not need it
• What the setup process looks like, including timeline, costs, and ongoing compliance
• How digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum can be integrated into an offshore plan
• Live Q&A with Attorney Blake Harris

Why the Cook Islands

The Cook Islands has built its statutory framework specifically around asset protection. Unlike domestic planning structures, a Cook Islands Trust is governed by foreign law, administered by a foreign trustee, and structured under legislation that does not recognize foreign court orders.

Creditors who seek to reach trust assets must initiate new litigation in the Cook Islands itself — under Cook Islands law, with local counsel, and against strict procedural requirements that significantly raise the cost and complexity of any claim.

The result is a structure that shifts the battlefield offshore and changes the economics of litigation. Many cases resolve not because the trust is invincible, but because pursuing enforcement becomes economically unattractive for a potential plaintiff. The Cook Islands government maintains the legal framework governing these structures through the Cook Islands Ministry of Justice.

Who should attend

This webinar is designed for high-net-worth individuals, business owners, real estate investors, medical and legal professionals, and anyone evaluating their exposure to litigation risk.

The session requires no prior knowledge of offshore planning. The goal is plain-language clarity — not legal jargon. If you have wondered whether a Cook Islands Trust is appropriate for your situation, or if you have existing offshore planning and want a clearer understanding of how your structure works, this is the right session to attend.
