Who We Are

The standard we work under

Bridge Legacy subscribes to the Articles of the Association for Jurisdiction Planning, published by the Journal for Jurisdiction Planning in The Sovereign Family: A Jurisdiction Planning Manifesto. Each of its four articles is quoted here with what it means in our work with your family.

Article 1
Jurisdiction planning is on the side of the family.
We represent no jurisdiction. We advise your family on which jurisdictions to hold and in what combination.
Article 1 in the manifesto →
Article 2
Jurisdiction planning curates and arbitrates only.
We choose among the jurisdictions and the routes into them, and we give no legal, tax or financial advice. Professionals licensed in each jurisdiction carry out what the plan decides and confirm that it is lawful there, and the plan records who stands behind each element and under which law.
Article 2 in the manifesto →
Article 3
Jurisdiction planning advisors should never gain at a client's expense.
When a provider pays us, your family sees the payment in full before it decides. Provider payments are part of how we are paid, so your family is not charged more because of them, and no payment decides which jurisdiction, provider or route we recommend. We advise a move only when your family is better off with it than without it after every fee is counted, and we have advised families to stay where they were.
Article 3 in the manifesto →
Article 4
Jurisdiction planning diversifies between jurisdictions.
We begin by measuring how much of your family's residence, citizenship, capital and structures sits under one jurisdiction, and the plan reduces it: a Vault, a Forum and a Refuge in different jurisdictions, with the Vault and the Refuge under different protectors.

The articles end in one sentence: therefore the purpose of jurisdiction planning is to make families sovereign. Read the full manifesto at the Journal for Jurisdiction Planning.
