Trusts

What is a Trust?

A Trust is a contractual arrangement whereby property or assets are transferred from one person (the ‘Settlor’) to another party (the ‘Trustee’) to hold the property for the benefit of a specified list or class of persons (the ‘Beneficiaries’).

Uses of a Trust

A Trust could be used for many purposes, including succession planning, asset protection or asset structuring.

Some of the more common use for Trusts are tax planning, confidentiality, asset protection, avoiding forced heirship or protecting the family business.

Foundations

The objective of a Foundation is much the same as that of a Trust. A properly structured Foundation can offer tax and estate planning benefits, as well as a means to avoid forced heirship rules.

We can provide Foundation services in Bahamas, DIFC (UAE), Jersey, Luxembourg and Panama.
