A Trustee holds a fiduciary duty to carry out the wishes of the settlor for the exclusive benefit and advancement of the beneficiaries of the Trust.

Beneficiary – An individual or group of individuals for whom the Trust is created, who stand to benefit from the Trust according to the intentions of the Settlor

Almost all forms of property can be placed within a Trust, such as:

• Cash
• Investment Portfolios
• Life Insurance Policies
• Residential / Commercial Properties
• Private Investment Companies
• Operating Companies
• Art Pieces and Artifacts

Trusts are versatile instruments which can be used for a variety of purposes to achieve specific objectives. Accordingly, there is no minimum amount of assets that would be required to be placed within a Trust.

We believe in a transparent pricing policy and offer clients a flat fee that is determined at the onset of our relationship.

The fees involved in the establishment and maintenance of a Trust is annual in nature and dependent on the following factors:

• The type and value of assets placed within a Trust
• The expected level of activity of the Trust
• The associated risks and general reporting requirements of the Trust
