Trusts

A trust is an arrangement whereby a capital fund is created and maintained as a quite independent legal entity from the person creating the fund.

The trust can be formed and controlled outside the country of residence of the persons ultimately interested in the funds of the settlement.

Trusts are extremely flexible arrangements and can be devised to satisfy almost all circumstances, including owning one or more companies.

Trusts are frequently known as "settlements". This arises because a settlement is the action of giving, and a trust is created by a settlor giving assets to a trust.

The normal objective of an offshore trust is to create a fund of capital outside the present country of residence of the principals. This fund can be held free of exchange control and other political or economic restrictions which might be imposed now or in the future in the country of residence of the individual or intended recipients of the income or capital from the fund.
