Trusts
What Is a Trust and How Does It Protect Your Wealth?
A trust is a legal arrangement that allows an individual (the settlor) to transfer assets to a third party (the trustee) to manage them for the benefit of one or more beneficiaries, according to specific terms. Trusts are one of the most effective tools for international wealth protection and estate planning.
They offer clear rules for asset distribution, help avoid disputes among heirs, protect wealth from legal or fiscal risks, and maintain the confidentiality of family holdings.
Types of Trusts and Their International Uses
There are several types of trusts based on purpose and structure. At Nerubay International, we work with:
• Revocable Trusts: allow the settlor to change or cancel terms during their lifetime.
• Irrevocable Trusts: provide stronger protection by legally separating the assets from the original owner.
• Discretionary Trusts: give trustees flexibility to adapt asset distribution to the changing needs of beneficiaries.
These instruments are especially valuable for international clients seeking succession planning, asset shielding, or cross-border operations.
How Is an International Trust Structured?
The process begins by identifying goals: asset protection, succession, confidentiality, or tax efficiency. We then determine the best jurisdiction, draft the trust terms, and coordinate with professional trustees to implement and administer the structure.
Our team guides each step to ensure legal compliance and full alignment with your legacy goals.
