Asset protection in self-settled trusts:
Wyoming is the preferred situs state in the U.S. to achieve asset protection as a result of:

Wyoming provides protection for discretionary and mandatory distributions from self-settled and third party trusts. Wyoming statutes provide a clear definition of what qualifies as a “discretionary distribution” and a “discretionary trust” providing certainty to which trusts and distributions the protections apply. Furthermore, it is clear by law that mandatory distributions may not be attached by creditors until they are received by the beneficiary. This prevents creditors from compelling a distribution of mandatory distributions. These protections apply even if the grantor-beneficiary is also a trustee.
No state gift or inheritance tax:
Wyoming does not impose a state tax on gifts or transfers at death by Wyoming domiciled persons.
Grantor and beneficiary privacy:
Wyoming does not require the recording of a trust or supervision of trust administration thereby keeping the identity of the trust, its grantors and beneficiaries out of the public record.
