In 1989 the Trusts (Guernsey) Law came into force (as amended in 1990) and these laws are totally different from the U.K. Trustee Act of 1925. The Guernsey law has developed a more practical and workable approach to trust law. It is for this reason that Guernsey trusts are so highly regarded among other offshore financial centres. The Guernsey law of trusts permits revocable trusts and has been amended to deal with forced heirships. The Guernsey discretionary trust is a useful vehicle permitting great flexibility in the management of any Trust Fund whilst distancing the settlor from the assets of the Fund. Of course a letter of wishes might be used to indicate to the Trustees how it is felt their discretion might be exercised. It should be understood however this letter is not binding on the Trustees who are at all times bound by the Trust Deed. We can act in any of the following capacities:- Executor and/or Trustee of a Will; Administrator of a deceased person’s estate; Trustee of a discretionary, marriage or other settlement, a Declaration of Trust or a foundation. Taxation and Financial Planning We can provide a complete advisory service and are happy to work with existing professional advisers where appropriate. |
