Craig S. Redler is Of Counsel to Dilendorf Law Firm PLLC, advising on offshore trust structures for high-net-worth families.
Before joining the firm he served as a trustee for offshore trusts settled by high-net-worth clients across the Cook Islands and New Zealand — the jurisdictions whose statutes most U.S. asset-protection planning ultimately relies on.
That experience sits on the other side of the table from most planning work. A trustee is the person who has to administer the structure once the drafting is done: who actually holds the assets, who decides on distributions, and who answers when a creditor, a court, or a beneficiary tests the arrangement years later. Structures that read well on paper and structures that survive administration are not always the same thing.
Where he contributes
- Selection and review of offshore trust jurisdictions, including the Cook Islands and New Zealand
- Trustee arrangements, duties, and the practical mechanics of administration
- Review of existing offshore structures held by U.S.-connected families
- Coordination between the firm’s U.S. planning and foreign trustees
