Introduction – Today many people around the world are worried about their bank accounts. Every time they check their balance they worry about what is going to be in there. It is possible to freeze a personal or business bank account pre-trial and have the assets held without even having your day in court. This can occur in many countries around the world.
Bank Account Location – Panama is the country folks. Forget about accomplishing this in the other countries. Panama has a set of laws pertaining to Foundations. Panama Private Interest Foundations can have assets that are non-embargo able and non-sequesterable, which in plain English means not-freezable or attachable in a pre-trial proceeding.
Pre-Trail Attachments – The way this process work is that someone decides to sue you. Perhaps you deserve to be sued or not. The lawyers may just be looking for a deep pocketed individual to go after; heck you may just settle they don’t know. The lawyers go to the judge privately behind closed doors. This is in some countries called an ex-parte proceeding. You as the defendant are not even aware that you are being sued. They lay out a scenario before the judge that you are a real bad guy and that you will be likely to run away or move your assets (bank account, real estate, stocks, boat, etc) when sued. They base this on a guess of course. Now if they are a big influential law firm the judge will be inclined to listen to these three guys in $900 suits. So they convince the judge to issue an order freezing your bank account, tying up the title on your real estate, cars, boats, etc. Of course they post a bond to the court for damages if they lose. They will not lose since they will just keep running up your legal bills until you quit. They pick their marks carefully. Do not think lawyers like these are different than con men, they aren’t. Now when your money and house is tied up you are going to be more open to settlement aren’t you? Let’s not even get into how you are going to pay for a lawyer when your funds are locked up and you never even had your day in court. Are you getting an idea why so many people bank offshore and have an anonymous bearer share corporation own their real estate?
Panama Private Interest Foundations – This are unique asset protection instruments modeled after the expensive European Foundations protecting the assets of the rich and famous for many years. The Panama versions are very inexpensive (under $2000) while the European versions can run more than ten times that amount. Panama Foundations can be formed in one week. The Panama Foundation is a combination of a will, trust and corporation. They are anonymous. The beneficiaries of the Foundation are not publicly available. The Founder of the Foundation can be an anonymous nominee. The Foundation really has no owner. The Foundation can have secret instructions as to what happens in the event of your death or incapacitation such as your spouse or children get control of the Foundation. Of course one of the nice things is the Panama Foundation can have assets like real estate, bank accounts, planes, boats, cars, stocks, bonds, collectibles, etc. and all of these assets are not attachable in a pre-trial proceeding. If the Panama Foundation itself did something wrong like break a real estate lease for no good reason then it could have its assets attached for the value of the lease. For this and other reasons we suggest that our clients do not have the Panama Foundation engage in any commercial activities directly. A Panama Foundation can own an anonymous Panama Bearer Share Corporation which can be engaged directly in commercial activities.
