In this program for asset protection and integrated estate planning lawyers, Barry Engel analyzes choice of law decisions and how they may lead to conflict of law issues. Topics include: • a review of applicable reported cases with respect to choice of law and conflict of law principles, • a comparative analysis of the law in select domestic and offshore asset protection-oriented jurisdictions, i.e., given choice of law principles, what is there from which to choose, and once selected, what are the legal principles that would either support or interfere with the selected law, • an analysis of the foregoing jurisdictions’ statutory provisions and a discussion of some of the more interesting nuances from jurisdiction to jurisdiction that make them attractive or at least interesting, and • a comparative analysis of offshore trust planning versus domestic trust planning in the asset protection setting.
