Recent decades have seen dramatic changes in the financial world with significant increases in both private and corporate wealth. Increased globalisation of world economies and trends has resulted in assets being held by family members residing in multiple jurisdictions.
Overlay this with increasing and more complex anti-avoidance tax legislation in onshore jurisdictions and the expanding scope of regulatory regimes worldwide and it is clear that the estate planning challenges facing High Net Worth Individuals today are more complex than they have ever been.
The use of International Trusts, sometimes coupled with International companies and other planning structures, can often be an appropriate solution to the High Net Worth Individual’s needs in overcoming these challenges. Properly planned and administered such structures can help ensure long term asset preservation for the family and an efficient way of passing assets to heirs while retaining confidentiality and flexibility to meet changing needs.
RBC in Guernsey has over 80 Trust personnel, many of whom have multi-jurisdictional experience in addressing estate planning and corporate trust needs. We deal not only with Trusts and Companies for High Net Worth Individuals but with Employee Benefit Schemes and International Pension Plans for corporations with employees in multiple jurisdictions.
Our approach is to work as a team with either your existing advisors or legal and tax specialists that we can introduce to ensure that the legal, tax and administrative aspects of the planning are properly addressed to meet the needs of our clients.
Once the structure is established a relationship team will be responsible for ensuring that it is properly administered and the integrity of the structure is maintained working closely with the legal and tax advisors where appropriate.
