External links modified
editHello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Asset-protection trust. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
- Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110708085701/http://www.bovelanga.com/publications/articles/US%20as%20Offshore%20Asset%20Protection%20Jurisdiction.pdf to http://www.bovelanga.com/publications/articles/US%20as%20Offshore%20Asset%20Protection%20Jurisdiction.pdf
- Added
{{dead link}}tag to https://www.bedellgroup.com/siteFiles/resources/docs/insights/Briefings/Money%20Laundering%20-%20Jersey%20Briefings/TheAnti-MoneyLaunderingRegime-AJerseyOverview.pdf
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
Plain (American?) English
editCouldn't articles like this be written for an audience of "laymen" -- I mean, people who are not trained in law but need to understand it?
I recognize some of the difficulties with an attempt to do that, one of them being the risk of attempting to state something in "plain English" which actually contradicts, misleads, or otherwise contains mistakes of any sort, thus possibly even exposing Wikipedia to lawsuits.
To guard against that (to the extent possible -- I mean, anybody can sue anybody for anything at almost any time), there could be something like the following:
* an article (or portion of an article) in the proper legal "jargon"
* another article (or portion of the previous article) in which an attempt is made to explain the legal jargon in plain English
* a disclaimer near the beginning of the 2nd portion of the article (and other appropriate places) that says something like: the following is an attempt to explain an asset protection trust in plain English. Unfortunately, the words used in "legal jargon" often have precise legal meanings which are hard to capture correctly and completely in plain English. For that reason, you should not rely on the "plain English" version of this article, but instead seek real legal advice, probably from a real lawyer whom you employ somehow.
One specific comment: what is the settler of a trust -- is that the same as the trustee of a trust? If so, why the need for a different word (or is that the Queen's English vs. good old American English? ;-)

There seems to be a news article or opinion in this article
editUnder Guernsey section, in history, there is text that advocates a position. To the original editor, please change that. Geraldshields11 (talk) 14:36, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
