Trust and Foundation

What is Trust?

A trust is a relationship where a property is held by one party for the benefit of another party. A trust is created by the owner, also called a "settlor", "trustor" or "grantor" who transfers property to a trustee, The trustee holds that property for the trust's beneficiaries.

What is Foundation?

Foundation is a type of entity that is a cross-breed between a trust and a corporation, however, it is neither, rather as a separate legal entity, has the capacity to execute rights and acquire obligations. It is created by a declaration of the Founder and generally has as a purpose the preservations of assets for benefit of the Founder or Beneficiaries.

Benefits of becoming a foundation trust

Tax Savings

The trust can avoid inheritance tax, gift tax, wealth tax, transfer tax, and the beneficiaries can receive income and assets free of income taxes. However, U.S. taxpayers and others in countries taxing global income must report all income to their tax agencies.

Asset Protection Trust

Trusts assets are beyond the reach of the settlor’s and beneficiaries creditors

Privacy

Since trusts are not registered with the government, there are no public records about them.

Tax Free

There are no corporate taxes or income taxes or any other tax. However, U.S. taxpayers and those from other countries taxing global income are required to disclose all income to their tax authority.

Foreign Owner

The settlor can be from any country along with the beneficiaries and the trust properties can also be located in other countries.

Confidentiality

Confidentiality from the Trustee, Trust Agent, and the Registrar.

Succession & Relationship Planning

Secures succession plans and helps to make use of the IHT allowances and reliefs which are available and protect the economic value of everything from exposure to inheritance tax (IHT).

How it works

The owner of certain assets ("Settlor") transfers these assets to an independent third party ("Trustee"). The Trustee, in turn, is legally bound to maintain and manage these assets for the benefit of another person or group of persons ("Beneficiaries")
