Trust registration

Send Request

Trust is one of the tax planning tools. Trust is also used in protecting existing assets and transferring them as inheritance. The biggest mistake in understanding the essence of trust is that many consider it as some specific type of company. Although, in fact, a trust is one of the forms of contractual property relations.

Function of a trust

Trust is understood as an agreement according to which some property or part of it will be transferred to the managing person, however, the beneficiaries will own this property and receive profit from it. Both immovable and movable property can act as a trust property.

The founder has the right to transfer the property during the lifetime or to appoint a transfer after death (in this case, we are talking about a testamentary trust). The trustees carry out a comprehensive due diligence of all persons who are participants in the trust. The registration of a trust does not require the involvement of third parties. All transactions are guaranteed to remain private, which, in turn, ensures the confidentiality and safety of information about the beneficiaries.

A trust has several advantages that allow you to optimize the taxation process and protect property from the effects of various kinds of negative factors. The advantages of a trust are as follows:

  • assets that have been transferred to the trust are considered to be allocated value, which implies that they are not considered as part of the common property of the settler (this property is taxable and subject to legal restrictions, such as seizure) at the legal level. At the same time, from the economic point of view, this property is nevertheless connected with the settler, that is, it can bring him/her profit, the payment of which, if necessary, can be delayed. Deferral is one way to optimize taxation;
  • the actual owner of the assets transferred as a trust is the trustee, who acts on behalf of the settler. Moreover, other people you may not even know the name of the settler;
  • the trustee, who is appointed by the founder, is entitled to dispose of the property and its parts only in such ways that will fully meet the interests of the settler or the designated beneficiaries. Any of the actions of the trustee that will go beyond these rights are considered illegal and can be canceled by court decision.

In order to ensure maximum protection of the rights and interests of the beneficiary, the possible presence of one more participant – the committee – is provided. The committee is appointed by the founder and oversees the actions of the trusted owner. It is best to choose as the committee someone with no interest in the property, such as a legal advisor or accountant.

All aspects of this procedure require the professional approach of lawyers.
