Belize Offshore Trusts

Belize offshore trust becomes valuable, easy operational, subtle and creative means of asset protection, investment, tax and estate planning providing at the same time full confidentiality.

Main principle of Offshore Trust is to assign assets to a Trustee in an offshore jurisdiction. When the Offshore Trust is set up in Belize, Beneficiaries are exempted from paying local taxes on their incomes or assets of the Trust.

The structure of Trust is based on three basic elements:

Settlor/Grantor – the creator of the Trust that can be an individual, a corporation or another legal entity. The Settlor creates a Trust by gifting or transferring title of assets which he owns into Trust with instructions that those assets should be held for the subsequent use, benefit and enjoyment of a third party (Beneficiary/s).
Trustee – a person or corporate body appointed by the Settlor to manage Trust with a legal authority (for the profit of the Beneficiary/s)
Beneficiary – a person who receives the benefits from money or property held in the trust

Benefits of a Belize Offshore Trust:

No wealth and inheritance taxes
Financial stability
Tax reduction and minimization
Easy maintenance
Confidentiality
Excellent asset protection features
Ability to minimize or eliminate estate and inheritance taxes due to the death of a Settlor
Recognition in main common law jurisdictions
