Using overseas trusts can be one of the most highly effective methods of protecting business funds, reducing tax payments or reorganising control of assets and property. However, the utmost care must be taken to ensure that offshore trusts meet the need of the parties concerned, comply with the host jurisdiction's legal requirements and offer maximum protection from unwanted predators. International Trust Precedents provides a complete library of documents, with clear supporting commentary, to create effective trusts in key overseas jurisdictions. Not only is it possible to compare different countries to see which jurisdictions are most suitable, but there is also the necessary back-up information on relevant trust law, company law, taxation and administration. In addition, the work considers the UK implications of using offshore jurisdictions, deals with the possibility of establishing and transferring UK trusts overseas, and examines the position of offshore trustees.
