What is a Domestic Asset Protection Trust (DAPT)?


A Domestic Asset Protection Trust (DAPT) is a legal structure that allows you to transfer assets into a trust that protects them from future lawsuits, creditors, or claims — all while allowing you to retain certain benefits and limited control. It’s one of the most powerful tools available to preserve wealth and plan for long-term security.

At Kutub Law, our focus is exclusively on Nevada DAPTs, which are widely considered the strongest form of asset protection in the United States. These trusts offer a secure, fully domestic alternative to offshore accounts and foreign jurisdictions.

Why Nevada Law Stands Above the Rest


Not all DAPTs are created equal. The strength of your trust depends on the state law it’s formed under — and Nevada has established itself as the most protective jurisdiction in the nation.

Here’s why Nevada DAPTs are preferred:

  • No state income tax on trust earnings
  • Two-year statute of limitations for most creditor claims
  • No exception creditors (including divorcing spouses and child support claims in most cases)
  • No requirement for a Nevada-based trustee, making the structure more flexible

Nevada trusts are regularly upheld in court and offer peace of mind with clearly defined protections built into state law.

Nevada Trusts vs. Offshore Strategies


Many law firms promote offshore asset protection through foreign accounts and entities. While these options might sound appealing, they often come with increased complexity, regulatory scrutiny, and risk.

By contrast, a Nevada Domestic Asset Protection Trust keeps your assets within the United States, under the protection of one of the most favorable legal frameworks available — without the complications of international compliance or exposure.
