Offshore Trusts Report: Bermuda
Legal Framework And Formation Rules and Fees
Trust management has been a significant activity for Bermuda for
more than fifty years. Originally the main sources of trust business
were the UK, the USA and Canada, but more recently other parts of
the world have become increasingly important, as understanding of
the trust concept has spread more widely. Successive tightenings
of anti-avoidance legislation in the traditional markets have also
tended to reduce volume.
Bermuda has kept up to date with international trust practice but
has been cautious about asset protection trusts, and the Bermudan
legislation has attempted to draw a sustainable balance between
the interest of the settlor and the creditor, rather than going
all out for protection like many jurisdictions.
