The term residence planning was coined by Henley & Partners over fifteen years ago. At the time most international lawyers did not consider the necessity for some international clients to look at alternative residence solutions, and conduct the relevant planning for their clients. Rather, obscure and often illegal structures were devised to essentially hide assets, which were then typically parked in “secure” jurisdictions such as Switzerland, Liechtenstein or many of the small island states and territories around the world.

Today the situation is different and many clients and advisors on all continents are working with this important aspect of private wealth planning. Today however, the political and legal climate only leaves one sensible advice: “comply, or move out.”
