Set up an offshore trust
The offshore trust is a trust in the traditional sense of the word, the agreement between the trustee and the owner for the best interest of the beneficiaries, incorporated and managed as per the laws applicable in an offshore jurisdiction.
The main advantages related to offshore trust creation are the following:
- tax exemption: just like in the case of offshore company formation, trusts incorporated in these jurisdictions offer a number of tax advantages when the assets are transferred.
- asset protection: depositing assets in a trust that is set up in an offshore center protects them from bankruptcy, unwanted inheritance and in other cases.
- capital accumulation: the trust can also be used as a structure that holds companies and can accumulate capital.
- confidentiality: this is another important advantage for those who set up an offshore trust: the information of the trustees and how the trust functions are not disclosed; this can vary from on offshore jurisdiction to another, we recommend seeking personalized assistance for trust creation.
