Trusts

A trust is an arrangement whereby the owner of particular assets, (who is referred to as the settlor), passes complete legal ownership of the assets in question to a trustee. A trust is a well established equitable arrangement which does not have to be recorded in any public register. Its terms therefore remain confidential to third parties.

A person known as the Settlor transfers property to the trustee(s), who can be an individual or a company, to hold that property for the benefit of the beneficiary(ies). The property can include anything that is capable of being transferred such as shares, money, land or real estate. Offshore trusts are often used by those wishing to protect and maximise their assets, simplify the management of their assets and their overall estate, tax planning and to protect the beneficiaries' interests.
