Gain a strategic advantage with a Private Trust Company (PTC). We create and manage these bespoke entities, acting as trustees for your trusts and structures, providing superior confidentiality, tailored control, and effective succession planning.
Why choose a PTC?
Tailored to act as trustees for family trusts, Private Trust Companies (PTCs) are managed by a board of directors. Our experienced team provides in-depth expertise in PTC creation, helping you determine if it aligns with your planning goals. Although directed by the board, professional trustees typically handle administration. Clients increasingly favor PTCs for their flexibility and control. Family members or trusted advisors can serve as directors, ensuring the founder’s intentions are honored. If direct family involvement isn’t feasible, our professional directors can provide oversight.
Private trust companies provide clients with several significant advantages, including:
Gain greater control over your trust affairs by serving on the board of directors alongside your family and trusted advisors, all without jeopardizing the trust’s legal standing.
PTCs offer enhanced confidentiality and the assurance of robust corporate governance, all within a regulated and politically stable jurisdiction, providing you with peace of mind.
Avoid costly and time-consuming legal formalities with a PTC. Changing service providers requires only director changes and registry notification, bypassing the need for asset transfers and legal documentation. This efficiency also simplifies migrating PTCs to new jurisdictions, like from Cayman to Jersey.
A key advantage of PTCs is their agility in adapting to changing circumstances. This is particularly valuable when a family trust owns an active business, requiring rapid responses. The PTC board’s intimate knowledge of the company enables informed and timely decision-making, surpassing the capabilities of a typical corporate trustee
