Trust law predates corporate law and was the primary tool used by families like the Rockefellers and Carnegies to build generational wealth and evade inheritance taxes. A trust functions as a legal agreement between a settler, a trustee, and a beneficiary, allowing an individual to access funds without technically having "dominion" over them for tax purposes. This legal structure remains the gold standard for asset protection among the global elite.
