Lawyer contingency fees are not allowed offshore. The grantor can retain control over U.S. assets by using a Family Limited Partnership or a Nevada Corporation. The grantor can get the money out as loans, distributions or compensation. The trust can even pay your bills directly.

Many people combine a foreign trust with a family limited partnership.
Under this scenario, you can be the general partner and the trust can be the limited partner. This gives you control over the domestic assets. As general partner you can receive compensation for serving as the general partner, take loans, or receive distributions of partnership capital through the foreign trust. They are a bureaucrats dream but your nightmare. We are faced more and more with incompetent judges who do not follow the laws.
