What Constitutes a Seychelles Trust

Trusts are primarily used by high net worth individuals for the protection of their private wealth, and to provide for their children or other future generations. When forming an offshore Seychelles trust, you will be in accordance with the International Trust Act 1994, who legitimately regulate international trusts. This particular legislation provides for high levels of anonymity and flexibility in terms of the structure of the trust. Under the ITA 1994, the law governing trusts in the Seychelles can be chosen by the settlor, and there is no requirement to file financial reports.

Seychelles Trust Formation

A Seychelles trust encompasses the following components; a ‘settlor’, a ‘trustee’, a ‘beneficiary’ and a ‘protector’. The settlor will transfer his assets and personal wealth into the trust whilst the trustee is directly responsible for the administration and management of the trust, which must be carried out in compliance with the settlor’s wishes (as outlined in the trust deed). The trustee must also be an adult of sound mind and have due diligence when administering the trust declaration. The beneficiary is the person or persons who will benefit from the formation of the trust. Lastly, a ‘protector’ serves as a supervisory power to monitor and control the trust administration and ensure strict legislation compliance.
