The Wyoming Advantage
We established Dunham Private Trust in Wyoming to offer our clients a premier trust jurisdiction for asset protection, offering enhanced creditor protection with the shortest seasoning period in the nation, robust privacy laws, and superior confidentiality protections that can safeguard your legacy for generations.
Wyoming delivers significant financial advantages with no corporate income tax, no estate or gift tax, and for certain trust types, no state income tax on undistributed income. The state's progressive trust laws allow trusts to remain effective for up to 1,000 years, permit you to retain investment control through directed trust provisions, and offer flexible decanting statutes – all without requiring Wyoming residency, just a Wyoming trustee to access these benefits.
