Seychelles Trust
Seychelles Trust
A Trust is a private legal agreement (Trust Deed) between the individual who places his/her assets in the Trust (Settlor) and the individual or corporation entrusted with the protection, management, and ultimate distribution of the assets (Trustee) for the persons entitled to benefit from the capital assets and/or income held under the agreement (Beneficiaries).The Seychelles International Trust law offers some of the greatest privacy and asset protection features of any International Offshore Financial Centre: Neither the name of the person establishing the Trust nor the persons who are to benefit from the Trust are disclosed to the Registry. Upon registration, the Registrar simply issues a sealed letter confirming registration and specifying the name and registration number of the Trust.
