Trust Services
While there is no legal requirement for the Trustees of a
Guernsey Trust to be resident, it is most often necessary that they
be located outside of any higher-tax jurisdiction to avoid the risk
of the Trust itself becoming liable to tax there. In addition, the
very act of being a Trustee is not something that should be
undertaken by those not fully conversant with the laws, regulations
and practices that need to be considered. GTC has been in the
business of providing Trustees since 1988 and have significant
expertise in this field.
GTC's commitment to investing in excellence in our staff,
systems and training enable us to provide efficient, timely
and professional administration and accounting services for trusts,
whether we also act as Trustees or otherwise.
For settlors/advisers looking for independent professional
parties to act as protectors (or enforcers for Purpose Trusts) we
are able to provide the necessary skills and independence
required.
GTC acts for Trusts created by both private and institutional
clients and also provide Trustee services to charitable trusts and
pension schemes.
Through our connection with Collas Crill, we are able to secure
first class legal advice in connection with all aspects of Guernsey
Trust law.
