• Make sure that your Trust, your Trustee, and your Protector are located in three different offshore countries, none of them your own! Preferably, your Trustee should have a representation in your own country, but this is less important.
• Check also with BBB or any other institution whose business register you have some faith in; look into any complaints or warnings they might have on record.

• The possible legal implications of your transferring your assets to a "DISCRETIONARY, IRREVOCABLE, PURE TRUST", as the legal term is. (Please note that you do not need to obtain any advice in regards to what happens to your Trust... your attorney will have no way of having that specific knowledge from law school, so just focus on your own personal situation, particularly in regards to your current creditors and the agreements you have with them).

• What tax benefits you are entitled to by selling and/or donating assets to your Trust. (Once again: your Trust will pay NOTHING, regardless your losses and write-offs! You should discuss the details and technicalities of this later with your accountant, but make sure you get "the big picture" from your attorney.)
• What difference it would make for you, as a private person, if you are the Grantor/Settlor or the Beneficiary of foreign Trust.
• What support you can get in case of an audit, and how you should deal with such a challenge in order to minimize your risk of trouble.
