Sepio Trust Company provides clients with innovative, independent and collaborative trust and fiduciary services in Wyoming, which is one of the most attractive jurisdictions for asset protection, privacy and business and tax planning. In collaboration with clients, Sepio leverages state-specific laws that empower families to maintain control, flexibility, and confidentiality over time.
Wyoming was one of the earliest adopters of the Uniform Trust Code and continues to lead in trust and business planning. For families who value transparent governance, low tax exposure, asset protection and structural durability, Wyoming provides a uniquely powerful planning jurisdiction.

Key Advantages of Wyoming Trust Laws
Tax Efficiency
Wyoming doesn’t impose state income, corporate income or estate taxes ensuring efficient and advantageous wealth accumulation and transfer.
Long-Term Duration and Legacy Planning
Wyoming allows trusts to last for up to 1,000 years which is a framework that supports structured, long-term multi-generational planning.

Directed Trusts and Administrative Flexibility
Wyoming allows directed trust structures, which divides the investment, distribution, and administrative duties among trustees, advisors, and family members. This unbundled model enables strategic collaboration and maintains family input where appropriate.
Modification and Decanting Without Court Involvement
Wyoming permits non-judicial modifications and decanting, allowing families to adapt to changing tax laws, life events, or objectives, without going through lengthy court proceedings.

Wyoming’s Legal & Regulatory Infrastructure
Wyoming's early adoption of the Uniform Trust Code and modern updates reinforce its reputation as a leading trust jurisdiction, particularly around clients managing business, real estate, or digital asset trusts.
Privacy, Asset Protection, and Control
Confidentiality and Silent Trusts
Trusts in Wyoming are not publicly registered, and documents are not part of the public record. Silent trust provisions allow the grantor to delay or waive beneficiary notification when appropriate, offering discretion during sensitive planning periods.
Self-Settled Asset Protection
Wyoming supports domestic asset protection trusts with a four-year look-back period. With proper structuring, individuals can remain beneficiaries of their own trusts while shielding assets from future creditor claims.
How Wyoming Compares
- South Dakota and Nevada also offer favorable statutes, but Wyoming provides a greater balance between privacy, control, and flexible oversight.
- Delaware allows directed trusts but limits confidentiality—trust documents are sealed for only three years.
- California and Florida lack many tools, especially privacy, decanting, and taxation.
Wyoming stands apart through its combination of long-term governance, tax neutrality, privacy protection, and flexible administration.
