The Security of Protection

Madison Trust works within South Dakota, home of the most advantageous trust statute. South Dakota's strong spendthrift provisions protect clients and their assets from the aggressive claims of creditors. Additionally, South Dakota possesses no state income tax which allows your wealth to grow without any unnecessary reduction.

Will you benefit from a Directed Trust?

The Directed Trust fits those who have substantial assets which will not be used to fund retirement. With a Directed Trust, you can manage those assets and optimize your family’s inheritance. Now is the time to insure a smooth financial transition for your loved ones and help them maximize the retention of your family’s wealth.

You can keep YOUR current team!

Madison Trust acts as an additional partner to help optimize your trust platform and move the assets over. However, your team of financial advisors, accountants, and estate attorneys can continue to direct the assets according to their strategy.
