Maximizing the Value of a Trust
Selecting a Proven Jurisdiction
Swiss Caribbean Trust, Ltd., domiciled in Anguilla British West Indies, is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom. A SCT asset protection trust is based on the statutory provisions of the Trust Ordinance. The Trust Ordinance contains primary segments dealing with crucial topics of the laws of the jurisdiction, which work concurrently to protect the reliability of the SCT Trust.
The advanced laws of Anguilla leave no opportunity for ambiguity regarding the settlement of the property of the trust, the function of the grantor and the trust administration regardless of the location of the administrative office.
The laws of Anguilla will protect the trust regardless of the laws of any other jurisdiction thus providing virtually bulletproof asset protection. Anguilla has taken appropriate steps in legislation to prohibit any action from a foreign jurisdiction in attempting to infiltrate a SCT Anguilla Trust. In addition the trust property is protected from:
- The personal and proprietary consequences of marriage or the termination of marriage;
- Succession rights (whether testator or intestate) including fixed shares of spouses or relatives;
- The claims of creditors in an insolvency; or,
- The imposition of any foreign tax or duty.
The progressive trust laws of Anguilla provide formidable obstacles to potential creditors, making it one of the most favorable independent jurisdictions in the world for an asset protection trust.
SCT’s comprehensive understanding of the global financial environment and the attractive international trust regulations of Anguilla offer SCT the ability to provide clients with virtually impenetrable asset protection.
