Trusts, Estates & Private Wealth
The Bahamas is a premier trust jurisdiction with modern trust legislation behind it. We advise on creating, administering and protecting private wealth.
For Bahamian families, we prepare wills, set up family trusts, obtain grants of probate and letters of administration, and advise on succession for family businesses and Bahamian real property.
Internationally, we establish Bahamian trusts (discretionary, purpose, reserved powers and executive trusts) as well as Bahamian foundations, and we advise settlors and protectors on asset protection and succession planning for US, UK, European and Latin American families, including how Bahamian trust law interacts with foreign forced-heirship and tax rules.
Cross-border experience
We act for international families and their advisors who are setting up and maintaining Bahamian trust and foundation structures.
