Why New Hampshire
New Hampshire is among a small number of states that have deliberately modernized their trust laws to offer meaningful advantages for families and their advisors. Those advantages include no state income or capital gains tax on irrevocable trusts, directed trust statutes that preserve the advisor’s investment management role, perpetual dynasty trusts with no mandated termination date, robust asset protection provisions, and one of the only dedicated trust courts in the country.
New Hampshire is a jurisdiction that gives advisors and their clients genuine structural and tax advantages — not available in most states — and a legal environment that continues to evolve in response to the needs of modern wealth planning.
