OFFSHORE TRUST FORMATION
International Trust Formation in Belize and Nevis
Offshore trusts formation in Belize and Nevis through us can be done online. Forming an offshore trust means entering into an agreement or arrangement of trust between you (the settlor/grantor) and a Trustee (an individual, lawyer or licensed trust company). Generally you would appoint your own trustee, but CCP offers Trustee services in Belize and Nevis and we would generally act as your trustee since the law requires that the trustee must be a Nevis resident company or a Trust Company in Nevis.
Offshore Trust Formation Process
Once you have identified the key elements of your international trust: the trustee, the beneficiaries, the type and quantity of assets, and other details your next step is to have your solicitor/attorney prepare the Trust Deed. The trust deed is the official document for the trust which must be a part of the application. We can have our lawyers draw up the trust deed for a fee based on the contents and details of the purposes of the trust.
Your next step is to form your international trust using our easy to use online offshore trust formation form. Within minutes of receiving your order, you will receive an email notification with link to the necessary forms and instructions needed for the trust formation process. You must complete all forms and send back to us via email (to start the process), with originals couriered to us.
All international trust formations require that applicants meet the Know Your Customer (KYC) needs. This is a process where you submit specific documents; a copy of your passport, proof of residential address or some form of address verification (utility bill, bank statement) and bank and professional references; these documents are only for our files. These documents can be scanned and emailed or faxed to us, to initiate the formation of the trust and originals to follow via courier.
We will begin the process for offshore trust creation once payment is confirmed. For prices, go to our Offshore Trust Prices page. Once we have received the necessary documentation for the trust formation, the Trust will be registered and the official documents will be sent to you via courier services.
There is no need to travel to the jurisdiction since all offshore trust registration procedures are taken care of by the agent, who is responsible for dealing with the jurisdiction's Registry on behalf of the client. Offshore trust in Nevis and Belize can be formed within one week. However depending on the jurisdiction and the structure and complexity of the trust the process may take more or less time.
The offshore trust formation inquiries will be responded within a day of contacting us during CCP work hours which are Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 17:00 (GMT -4). All information exchanged during the trust formation process is treated with absolute confidentiality and we only use internationally recognized courier services for our documentation delivery.
A very popular offshore asset protection structure is established when the shares of your offshore company (Offshore LLC or Offshore IBC) are held by offshore trust.
