PROTECTING WHAT'S YOURS
The Truth of Ownership & Private Trusts
For generations, people have believed that what they “own” is truly theirs. But if your home, car, or bank account is held in the name of a person — that is, a legal entity created and defined by statute — then the state ultimately claims authority over it.
What the state creates, it claims to control?
The legal person is a statutory creation — a paper identity that's simply not you. The state would say that everything registered in that person title, like your bank account or home, is by definition within the reach of statute. As the state created it, the state would say statute applies to it by default, meaning the state can govern and tax it at will. Whilst this appears to be the case on first look, and by their presumption, on closer analysis we see a very different picture. The state created a title, which is like a holding container, you created the value, wealth, actions and posessions within the container. The state is actually presuming to govern and tax you and what you created. Equity law and trusts call this actual value inside the title "beneficial interest", and recognise it as distinctly separate from the title container itself. For the presumption that you are or act as agent for the person, this is fundamental, and Equity provides automatic protection for the living being against what the state presumes.
The Ownership illusion
When you register a house, open a bank account, or buy a car “in your name,” that name is not you — it is the person: a legal identity the state governs.
You may think you are the owner, but in law, you are merely the user of the substance you are said to own.
The legal person holds title, and because the person exists only by statute, assets within that title are said to be subject to statutory jurisdiction — taxes, levies, and potential seizure.
This is an ownership trap.
It’s not about conspiracy — it’s about jurisdiction. If the asset sits inside the world of statute, it appears to belong to that world.
But Equity and Trust law separates the title container which is a legal person from the conents or value, which it declares is the beneficial interest. What matters is that Equity supercedes statutory law when a conflict arises between the two.
What Is Equity Law — and Why It Exists
Before statute, there was common law, and alongside it, equity — the law of fairness and conscience.
Equity arose when the rigid rules of the common law failed to deliver justice. It’s administered by the Court of Chancery and still exists today as a parallel system concerned with trust, good faith, and the division of ownership.
Equity recognises two types of ownership:
-
Legal Title — who holds the paperwork.
-
Equitable (Beneficial interest) Title — who truly benefits.
This separation is key because technically the container has no usable value but the contents do, and the contents can be separated as beneficial interest. Equity also realises that the two are distinctly separate and can be owned by two separate parties.
Private trusts are a vehicle to declare this. When you place assets into a private trust, legal title transfers to a trustee, while you (the living being) hold beneficial interest. It means that anyone can hold the title but you get the benefit. An example would be the title deed and ownership of the land your home sits on. The title is the paperwork, the beneficial interest is the use of the land. One has value, the other doesn't.
This structure exists in equity, not in statute — meaning it is governed by private contract and conscience, not by government-imposed codes. In the UK and most colonial jurisdictions equity is integrated into the legal and court system and must be considered superior to statute.
Equity is not a secret but it is reserved for those who are aware of it and use it, meaning the wealthiest families understand and use equity,
Equity : A shield against presumption
Equity: The Shield Against Presumption
Equity is a body of law that governs conscience, fairness, and beneficial interests. Where common law and equity conflict, equity prevails (Senior Courts Act 1981, s.49). This gives equity constitutional priority over administrative presumption.
Why Equity Matters Here
Statutory claims target the legal person—the title created at birth registration. But that title holds only legal title, not beneficial interest. Equity governs beneficial interest, and equity has rules about how that interest can be reached.
Key Protections
Equity will not compel acceptance of a trust No one can be forced into a fiduciary role (including agency) without their acceptance. If a living being has not contracted to act as agent for the legal person, equity will not compel them to do so.
Resulting trust by operation of law
Where a transfer of beneficial interest fails for want of proper instrument, a resulting trust arises automatically—the interest returns to (or is confirmed in) the original holder. Since no valid instrument ever transferred your beneficial interest to the person title, that interest never left you. (Westdeutsche Landesbank v Islington LBC [1996])
Equity will not aid a volunteer A "volunteer" is someone with no contractual relationship seeking enforcement. Statutory claimants with no contract binding you are volunteers—equity provides them no assistance.
Equity regards substance over form
The substance is: no valid transfer occurred. The form (statutory inclusion of "natural persons") cannot override this. Inclusion in a category is not transfer of interest.
The Practical Effect
When statutory claims seek to reach your capacity—your labour, property, freedom—they must pass through the person title. But equity stands between the title and your beneficial interest, requiring proper instruments that do not exist.
What Is a Private Irrevocable Trust?
Why Declare What Already Exists?
The resulting trust arises by operation of law—your beneficial interest never validly transferred to the person title, so it remains with you automatically. However, an implicit trust provides weaker protection than an explicit one.
Declaration is prudent because:
-
It creates a documented record of the trust relationship
-
It establishes clear terms that cannot be disputed
-
It provides operational capacity—you can act as trustee to manage trust affairs
-
It transforms passive protection into active governance
Without declaration, you rely on a legal principle. With declaration, you hold a trust instrument.
The Private Irrevocable Express Trust
From the resulting trust foundation, you can establish an express trust:
-
Private — created by declaration, not registration; exists outside statutory oversight
-
Irrevocable — once established, cannot be unilaterally revoked or seized
-
Express — intentionally created with defined terms, as distinct from trusts arising by operation of law
The Structure
You, the living being, act in three capacities:
-
Settlor — creating the trust by declaration
-
Beneficiary — holding all beneficial interest absolutely
-
Trustee — managing trust affairs with operational authority
The person title (and any companies) become trust property—bare trustees holding legal title only, administered by your trust, with no beneficial interest of their own.
The Effect
You move from having a resulting trust to governing an express trust. The person title remains useful for administrative purposes, but it is now explicitly what it always was: an empty vessel, governed by you, holding nothing of substance.
What's "Yours" is Not Secure
By declaring a private irrevocable trust, you separate the use or benefit from the liability. This means that state control ends and your use without state interference begins.
Equity and Trusts Allow Operation Outside Statutory Jurisdiction
Three Capacities, One Living Being. Once the express trust is established, you operate through distinct capacities:
-
Living Being - Holds beneficial interest; exists outside the statutory system
-
Trustee - Manages trust affairs; governs trust property; responds to claims
-
Legal Person - Bare trustee; holds legal title only; administered by the trust
The legal person remains useful—it interfaces with registries, holds titles, appears on documents. But it is now explicitly governed, not you.
Why Trustee Capacity Transforms Responses
When claims arrive addressed to the legal person, responding as that person accepts the role. Responding personally creates conflict between you and the system.
Responding as Trustee changes everything:
-
You are a third party—the governing authority of the entity being claimed against
-
You speak about the legal person, not as it
-
You invoke trust law and equity, not personal defiance
The Strategic Phrases
From trustee capacity, you can state:
"The Trust has not authorised any representative to engage with this claim."
This is a governance decision, not a confrontation. The legal person isn't refusing—it simply has no one authorised to act. The claimant must now prove why they can compel the Trust to provide representation.
The same substantive challenge—delivered through proper capacity—becomes an equity matter rather than a personal dispute.
How a Private Trust Is Created
Creating a trust is simple, but requires clarity and precision:
-
Define the Parties
-
Grantor (Settlor): You, the living being, who places assets into trust.
-
Trustee(s): Individuals you trust to hold legal title and administer the trust faithfully.
-
Beneficiary: You, or those you choose to benefit.
-
-
Establish the Trust Deed
-
A written document declaring the trust’s purpose, terms, and the assets included.
-
It is signed privately by the parties — not registered with any state authority.
-
-
Transfer the Assets
-
Move property, accounts, or other holdings into the trust’s name (not the person’s).
-
Secure the Records
-
Keep copies of the deed and supporting documents privately.
No public filing is required or recommended.
This creates a lawful, living structure that operates in equity, outside the reach of statute.
The Impact on Taxation and Inheritance
The Impact on Taxation and Inheritance
The taxation system applies by default to assets owned by the person, not to those held privately in trust.
1. Inheritance Tax
When you “die as the person,” all assets registered to that person pass through probate — a state-administered process under statute.
During probate, the state assesses and deducts inheritance tax (often 40% of estate value).
It does this because:
-
The person was a statutory entity.
-
Death ends your presumed “representation” of that entity.
-
The state claims regulatory rights over its own creation.
In contrast, trust-held assets do not pass through probate.
They are not part of the person’s estate.
They pass seamlessly to beneficiaries under the private trust deed — outside inheritance tax, probate delay, and state interference.
2. Income and Capital Gains
Because private trusts exist outside the statutory person, income derived by the trust is governed by private agreement.
If properly structured, it is not subject to the same personal taxation applied to statutory entities.
3. Council, Stamp, and Property Taxes
When property is privately settled into trust, it is no longer owned by a person or company.
Statutory charges and levies directed at those entities lose their basis of jurisdiction, as the property sits in equity, not statute.
In every case, the question is one of jurisdiction, not avoidance.
Equity is lawful, ancient, and recognised — yet exists beyond the reach of political legislation.
The Hidden Purpose of the Last Will and Testament
The Last Will and Testament was never designed for asset protection — it was designed for state control after death.
Here’s how:
-
The Will operates only within statutory jurisdiction — it governs what happens to the person’s estate, not your living property.
-
When you write a Will, you are confirming that your assets belong to the person — the very entity the state regulates.
-
Upon death, your executor becomes a statutory officer tasked with distributing the person’s estate through the state’s probate system.
-
That process triggers valuation, taxation, and disclosure — effectively transferring part of your estate to the Treasury by default.
In essence, a Will is not a shield — it is a handover form.
It ensures that everything registered under the person is surrendered for processing, assessment, and taxation before your beneficiaries receive what remains.
A private trust bypasses this.
It operates continuously in life and after death, with no probate, no valuation delay, and no statutory claim.
Why Now — The Urgency to Act
A window of opportunity is closing.
-
Digital ID aims to merge your biometric identity with the statutory person, removing your ability to lawfully distinguish between them.
-
CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) will place programmable limits on spending, taxation, and ownership.
-
Asset seizure and regulation laws are expanding rapidly — applying by default to everything “in your name.”
Once that bridge is sealed by digital proof, separation from the system becomes nearly impossible.
Learning about and implementing a private trust now restores control before that closure.
It is not rebellion — it is remembrance.
It is your right to live lawfully, peacefully, and privately.
The Peaceful Path to Asset Protection
You do not need to fight or resist.
You only need to know what you are not — and take simple, lawful steps to secure your life accordingly.
-
You are not a person, you are a living being.
-
Your assets need not sit in the statutory realm.
-
A private irrevocable trust restores ownership, privacy, and peace.
Freedom is not escape — it is understanding.
Awareness dissolves presumption.
