Liechtenstein International Trust

Liechtenstein International Trust Liechtenstein is the only civil law jurisdiction which has adopted largely Anglo-Saxon trust legislation (contained in the PGR Code), although, unlike the common law trust, there is no bar against an accumulation of income, nor against perpetuities. Liechtenstein is home to a thriving business in trust management. Although other local corporate forms offer partial substitutes for the trust, it remains a highly effective means of asset protection, and non-Anglo-Saxon clients are often more comfortable with Liechtenstein as a jurisdiction than they might be with, for instance, an ex-British colony.   Key Features
