We are officially registered and fully compliant in Sweden, a country with international respect and wide recognition, not only throughout Europe but also throughout the world.
Why Set Up A Trust?
But what is a trust? At its simplest, a trust is an arrangement whereby property or assets are transferred from one person (the ‘settlor’) to another person (the ‘trustee’) to hold the property for the benefit of a specified list or class of persons (the ‘beneficiaries’).
The practical advantages of a trust are gained from the distinction that is drawn between the formal or legal owner of the property, the trustee, and those people that have the use or benefit of the property, the beneficiaries. It is vital that the trustee remains independent and exercises proper control over the trust property. A trust may be deemed invalid if the settlor continues to exercise power over the trust assets by retaining benefit or control, or by giving direction to the trustees.
Those unfamiliar with the trust concept are often concerned at the prospect of transferring ownership of their property to a trustee. This concern can be alleviated if the trust concept and the distinction between legal and beneficial ownership are properly understood and it is clear that the trust is governed by a reliable trust law that can be enforced in a reputable jurisdiction. Trust law imposes strict obligations and rules on trustees . There is a basic rule that a trustee may not derive any advantage, directly or indirectly, from a trust unless expressly permitted by the trust – for example, where a trust provides a professional trustee with the right to charge for its services.
There are obvious benefits of allowing your assets to be held in a trust:
Better protect your assets from creditors and lawsuits Reduce estate and gift taxes
Distribute assets to heirs efficiently without the cost, delay and publicity of probate court. Probate can cost between 5% to 7% of your assets Put conditions on how and when your assets are distributed
Name a successor trustee, who not only manages your trust but is also empowered to manage the trust assets if you become unable to do so.
We can manage any type of asset held in trust. We manage this by creating a trust for each client through a trust deed. As a Trustee obviously, we are focused on managing assets, whether these are cash, diamonds, cryptocurrencies, real estate or a pile of rocks. We can also send and receive payments on behalf of customers holding trust accounts with our institution.
We help you protect your assets by creating a legal structure such as a trust that may provide long – lasting wealth creation and protection benefits for you and your family. As the trustee is the legal owner of the assets, the trust provides a level of protection against personal liability if structured appropriately and may allow you to arrange your finances in a tax-efficient manner. We can assist you in determining which is the most appropriate trust structure for your circumstances. We can assist in the establishment, administration and management of the trust either now or in the future. We can also act as the trustee now and/or into the future.
