Trusts & Foundations
Preserving Your Life's Work.Securing Your Enduring Legacy
Protecting the assets you’ve worked a lifetime to build is a critical part of your financial plan. A well-structured wealth preservation plan ensures your legacy is protected for generations to come, managed according to your exact wishes, and shielded from uncertainty. Our team specializes in establishing robust Labuan Trusts and Foundations, providing a secure, confidential, and tax-efficient framework for your estate and succession planning.
The Labuan Trust
A Labuan Trust is a highly flexible and confidential legal arrangement based on established common law principles. It is a powerful tool for sophisticated asset protection and succession planning.
How it Works: The owner of an asset (the “Settlor”) transfers it to a professional, licensed Trustee (like us) who has a legal duty to hold and manage those assets for the benefit of chosen beneficiaries (such as family members).
Key Benefits: Trusts offer exceptional asset protection from creditors, high levels of confidentiality, and immense flexibility in how and when assets are distributed to beneficiaries. They are ideal for managing complex family wealth and avoiding probate.
The Labuan Foundation
A modern, civil-law alternative to a trust, the Labuan Foundation is a self-owning legal entity, much like a company, but designed specifically for wealth management.
How it Works: A “Founder” endows assets to the Foundation, which is then managed by a “Council” in accordance with a “Charter” (the Foundation’s rules). Unlike a trust, a foundation has its own separate legal personality.
Key Benefits: Foundations are excellent for both private wealth preservation and charitable purposes. They are often preferred by clients from civil-law backgrounds and can offer the founder more direct oversight and control through a seat on the council.
