All Trusts are NOT created equal!

  You may have heard that a trust is the best path to asset protection of your land, cars, valuables etc., yet you’ve been overwhelmed or confused when searching to set up your trust and questioned, “Which type of trust do I need?”

  There are many, many types of trust structures that can be used in many different ways depending on your overall goals.

Today we want to narrow it down to a very unusual type of trust which you very likely have not seen before, but according to our 15+ years of research and implementation of this type trust, we feel it just may be the best trust structure to use.

  Take note that we do not offer “Legal Advice” but simply share with you our own findings and experiences using this type of trust structure.

  Below we will break down the 3 most commonly known types of trusts, including average set up costs, the #1 trust being our most highly recommended go to for all types of applications.

✅ 1. Foreign Grantor Trust with a 98-Series EIN & No IRS Filing Requirements and operated under (508(c)(1)(a) as humanitarian outreach.

🔍 Summary

A Foreign Grantor Trust:

•              Formed under foreign or international law (e.g., Cook Islands, Nevis                      etc),

•              Has a trustee who is non-US citizen,

•              Has obtained a 98-series EIN (foreign entity),

•              Has documented no-filing requirements from the IRS (often via private                  ruling or correspondence), and

•              Claims religious/humanitarian exception under IRC 508(c)(1)(a)

•              We have received in writing a statement from IRS stating; “In general, a grantor trust is ignored for income tax purposes” and several of our trustees have called IRS and been told this type of trust has no tax filing requirements AS LONG AS All exchanges are earmarked as PRIVATE EXCHANGES between parties and claimed as Lawful Money pursuant to 12 USC 411-NOT AS INCOME which does not fall under the lawful money act. Remember, income and lawful money are two totally different things.

As you can see from the above comparison, the Foreign Grantor trust has many advantages for people who are wanting more privacy and less headaches of all the filing and reporting requirements of a domestic trust. This type of trust can hold land, cars and other assets transferred into its name while doing outreach in many, many types of ways.

Let’s give an example here: Let’s say the trustee appoints ministers under 508c(1)(a)(these can be family members or anyone with certain skills who wants to take part in projects) You then determine what skillsets your trust members hold.

One may be skilled in raising food, one in carpentry, one on interior decorating ore ANY SKILL THAT CAN MAKE SOMEONE ELSES LIFE BETTER! That is the definition of humanitarian outreach or ministry…something that improves or beautifies someone else’s lives or living spaces in ANY way!

 We are ALL ministering every day in some way or the other, yet we’ve been lied to and made to believe we are machines that owe every corporate fiction our energy whenever they tell us we do, making us feel worthless and unappreciated.  This is causing a huge imbalance in the Universe itself. If we can all grasp this concept and start applying it, we can energetically shift this imbalance.

Remember though, your outreach is not a one-way street and energetically under universal laws when you give you also receive. That’s where PRIVATE EXCHANGES BETWEEN PARTIES come in. You can exchange Federal Reserve notes, food, clothing, services or whatever you two parties agree upon, but under universal laws some type of exchange is required otherwise the natural balance will be thrown off.

So, if you agree between parties that you will minister to them by fixing their plumbing, repairing their car, creating documents, washing windows, providing them housing etc. in exchange for notes or money, IT IS A PRIVATE EXCHANGE AND IS NEVER INCOME, therefore no corporate entity has any right to interfere in that private business of exchange between parties as this exchange is truly claiming lawful money under 12 USC 411.

Our goal at ANPC International is to provide you with the best tools we can find for you to truly find the FREEDOM to live and minister as your heart directs.

We believe we offer some of the best trust set-up and strategies available, and as a service to our fellow man, we want to offer it at the most affordable exchanges possible so you can turn around and do the same in your communities.

We hope this breakdown helps you see more clearly the types of trusts and how they work.
