A trust is a legal structure that allows a third party (the trustee) to hold and manage assets on behalf of one or more beneficiaries. Trusts are commonly used for asset protection, estate planning, confidentiality, and efficient wealth transfer across generations.
A will only takes effect upon death and often requires probate. A trust can be established and function during the settlor’s lifetime, offering more flexibility, privacy, and control over the distribution of assets.
Fiduciary services are valuable for high-net-worth individuals, families, corporations, institutional investors, and family offices looking to protect, structure, and transfer their assets securely and efficiently.
We offer a broad range of trust solutions including private trusts, pension and employee benefit trusts, escrow and custodial arrangements, group trusts, unregistered funds, and special-purpose trust structures.
Private trusts are used for wealth preservation, succession planning, tax optimization, and asset protection. They offer flexibility, confidentiality, and long-term planning advantages for individuals and families.
Beneficiaries can include family members, spouses, children, business partners, charitable organizations, or any individuals or entities chosen by the settlor.
Yes, depending on how the trust is structured and the applicable legal framework, some trusts may include provisions that allow for amendments, especially in response to changes in family or financial circumstances.
Companies set up such trusts to ensure the proper management of employee benefit plans, support long-term employee retention, and comply with legal and governance standards for retirement and incentive schemes.

An escrow agent securely holds assets, funds, or documents until certain agreed-upon conditions are met, serving as a neutral third party in sensitive or high-value transactions.
