Trusts
We advise individuals, families, trustees and professional advisers on the establishment, operation and restructuring of trusts connected with Cyprus.
Trusts can serve a range of legitimate succession, asset-holding and family governance objectives. Their effectiveness, however, depends on careful drafting and on ensuring that the legal arrangements reflect how the structure is intended to operate in practice.
We regularly work with trustees, accountants, tax advisers and foreign counsel where a trust forms part of a broader international estate or family structure.
