Establishing a trust offers a secure means of holding and distributing property and other investments. Stanford Trust Company Limited offers the assurance that your wishes will be carried out completely and efficiently by professionals with a great deal of tenure and experience. Here are some of the benefits an international trust provides:

Privacy

Privacy is the centrepoint of the exclusive agreement between you and Stanford Trust Company Limited. Moreover, once you establish a trust, you enjoy an added level of security since the identity of each individual beneficiary is fully protected as permitted by law.

You may not be aware that when a will goes through probate, it becomes a public record. A trust is not subject to probate, and therefore, remains a private arrangement between the settlor and trustee.

Orderly Distribution of Assets

A trust provides a secure means of holding and distributing property and other investments. Stanford Trust Company Limited offers the assurance that your wishes will be executed completely and efficiently. A trust arrangement can also protect your estate or business holdings in localities subject to forced heirship laws.

Consolidation of Assets in Multiple Jurisdictions

Assets in any number of financial institutions or jurisdictions can be consolidated under the centralised structure of a trust. Such an arrangement provides an improved means of preserving, managing and tracking assets. Sophisticated asset management structures such as a trust with an IBC can give the maximum of protection and flexibility.

Minimisation of Taxes/Avoidance of Probate

A trust vehicle may provide for the reduction of certain types of taxes, including estate taxes, and may help preclude the time and expense of probate. As previously mentioned, avoidance of probate can also prevent disclosure problems.
