Trust Services

While there is no legal requirement for the Trustee of a Guernsey Trust to be resident, it is most often necessary that they be located outside of any higher-tax jurisdiction to avoid the risk of the Trust itself becoming liable to tax there. In addition the very act of being a Trustee is not something that should be undertaken by those not fully conversant with the laws, regulations and practices that need to be considered. GTC have been in the business of providing Trustees since 1988 and have significant expertise in this field.

GTC's commitment to investing in excellence in our staff, systems and training enable GTC to provide efficient, timely and professional administration and accounting services for trusts, whether we also act as Trustees or otherwise.

For settlors/advisors looking for independent professional parties to act as protectors (or enforcers for purpose Trusts) we are able to provide the necessary skills and independence required.
GTC acts for Trusts created by both private and institutional clients and also provide Trustee services to charitable trusts and pension schemes.

Through our connection with Collas Day, we are able to secure first class legal advice in connection with all aspects of Guernsey Trust law.
