Trusts in commercial transactions and estate planning

Maltese trust legislation envisages the use of trusts for commercial purposes or commercial transactions.  A number of scenarios qualify as commercial transactions including the use of trusts for collective investment schemes, securitization of assets and portfolio management.  These trusts afford a greater flexibility and are therefore a very efficient tool within the financial sector.

Our firm can assist clients by advising on the employment of trusts in commercial transactions, both local and cross-border, and by providing tax advice and tax planning services.

Trusts and foundations are very useful in estate planning and in fact are used by high-net worth individuals worldwide to plan their financial affairs and provide for future generations in an efficient and practical manner.

Through careful estate planning, one can optimize the tax incidence and maximize the transfer of wealth to the intended beneficiary.

Our firm can assist by advising clients on the appropriate trust structure – this includes drafting of the all required trust documents, assistance in connection with the transfer of assets and investments, tax advice and planning.
