CREATING A TRUST FUND

CREATING A TRUST FUND

Offshore Trust Funds: Protect Your Wealth. Provide for Your Family. Plan with Confidence.

A trust fund is a practical and effective way to manage, protect, and pass on your assets according to your wishes. While often associated with large estates, trust funds are increasingly used by families, professionals, and business owners who want structure, clarity, and long-term security for their loved ones.

At Britannia Global Wealth, we assist clients in setting up offshore trust funds that are legally compliant, carefully structured, and aligned with personal, family, and business goals.

What Is a Trust Fund?

A trust fund is a legal arrangement where assets are placed under the care of a trustee for the benefit of designated beneficiaries. The person who creates the trust (the grantor) sets clear instructions for managing and distributing the trust’s assets.

Trust assets may include cash, investments, real estate, business interests, or other valuable property. A formal trust agreement governs how the trust operates and ensures your intentions are respected.

How a Trust Fund Works

1. You define the purpose – who benefits, when distributions occur, and under what conditions.
2. Assets are transferred into the trust, removing uncertainty and ensuring continuity.
3. A trustee manages the assets responsibly and distributes them according to your instructions.

This structure ensures smooth administration, even in the event of incapacity or death.

Who Can Benefit from a Trust?

Trust beneficiaries may include

• Spouses, children, and extended family
• Minor children or dependents with special needs
• Future generations
• Charitable organizations or foundations
• Businesses or institutions

You decide who benefits and how—giving you full control and peace of mind.

Common Trust Options in the Philippines

• Living (Inter Vivos) Trust – Created during your lifetime for privacy and continuity
• Testamentary Trust – Takes effect upon death, often through a will
• Family Trust – Preserves wealth across generations
• Asset Protection Trust – Helps safeguard assets from financial risks
• Charitable Trust – Supports philanthropic goals
• Special Needs Trust – Provides long-term care while preserving government benefits

Why Filipinos Choose Trust Funds
