Private Trust Companies

Offering high net worth clients an effective governance framework with their own corporate trustee

Private Trust Companies are used to act as trustees of one or more private family trusts for wealthy families. They can also act as trustees of commercial trusts and to hold special purpose vehicles in financial or other structures.

Private Trust Companies allows families to establish their own corporate trustee as opposed to transferring assets to a professional trustee. The members of the board, subject to appropriate tax advice, can comprise members of the family alongside a Jersey professional regulated director. As the family members evolve the structure of the board can evolve with it (if required), keeping your trustee in line with the family wishes.
