Subtle differences in state law determine whether a dynasty trust is truly protected for future generations. Some states protect the trust from all incursions. Others allow trusts to be used for child support or do not provide full protection from divorcing spouses. The amount of time a trust is protected also varies by state.

Steve Oshins, of the Oshins and Associates law firm in Las Vegas, compared state laws and came up with the 10 states that provide the most protections for dynasty trusts, which list our state of Florida as number 10.

For the most part, those at the top of the list provide full protection to the trust from such things as income tax, from claims by divorcing spouses, and from claims of child support.
