International Trusts

International trusts are legal arrangements where a person (the settlor) places assets into a trust governed by the laws of a different country. The trust is managed by a trustee to benefit designated individuals or organizations, often across borders. They are used for estate planning, asset protection, or privacy, benefiting from favorable legal frameworks. These trusts help manage and transfer assets efficiently internationally, offering advantages like reduced taxes, privacy, or protection from political or economic instability, while maintaining compliance with the relevant legal systems.
