Trusts in Dominica: process of establishment, how to obtain trust license Dominica permission to operate and regulation

A trust is a structure to which one or more people, called trustees, transfer financial assets, property rights, or other personal property rights. Management of the transferred property and assets is carried out by the trust company in accordance with the orders and needs of the owner with the obligation to return them at the end of the contract or after achieving the set goals. Under Dominica trust law, the interaction between the trust entity and the asset owner is based on a relationship of good will and mutual trust, whereby the firm faithfully manages the granted assets in strict accordance with the requirements formulated by the trustor.

Assets transferred to the trust organization are protected from the right of prosecution by credit and other structures. Creditors cannot encroach on trust assets, however, they can seize profits earned from such assets if they generate them.

Dominica was one of the last to include the regulation of trust institutions in its legislation. At present, there are still some inconsistencies between the basic purpose of a trust and its regulation, which the jurisdictional government and financial regulator are seeking to address and reform. The trust organization is obliged to guarantee the successful fulfillment of all purposes of transferring assets under management and is responsible for managing capital, carrying out any transactions under contractual obligations and obtaining profit from the commercial activity of the funds received. A Dominica trust will be able to provide the following in relation to clients’ assets.

  1. Safety. Preliminary determination of the conditions associated with the storage, management and disposal of assets ensures security for clients. The roles and responsibilities of the trust firm are clearly defined prior to the transfer of assets, reducing uncertainty about the funds or property received and potential risks.
  2. Efficient use of resources by professional managers.
  3. Strict control over the activities of trusts by the government.
