A Trust is a flexible and effective vehicle for wealth structuring, enabling individuals and families to protect, manage, and transfer assets with confidence. It is established by a Settlor who transfers assets to Trustees, who hold and manage them in accordance with a Trust Deed and for the benefit of the Beneficiaries.
- Flexible structure: Separates legal ownership from beneficial entitlement, allowing Trustees to manage assets in line with the Settlor’s wishes.
- Defined terms & beneficiaries: The Trust Deed sets out the Trust’s terms, including how and when assets may be managed or distributed to individuals, families, or charitable causes.
- Long-term wealth planning: Supports asset preservation, succession planning, and the orderly transfer of wealth across generations.
- Strategic advantages: Offers privacy, flexibility, and a high degree of control over the management and distribution of assets.
- Common applications: Frequently established for—
- Asset protection
- Intergenerational wealth and succession planning
- Inheritance structuring
- Family welfare and education
- Holding and managing global assets
- Mauritius as a jurisdiction: Establishing Trusts in Mauritius strengthens the country’s position as a trusted and internationally recognized hub for wealth preservation, succession planning, and international wealth management.
