Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is an international trust?

An international trust is a legal arrangement where assets are held by a trustee on behalf of beneficiaries, and the trust involves jurisdictions outside the country where the trustee or beneficiaries reside.

Yes, a beneficiary can challenge a trust if they believe it was established improperly or the trustee has breached their fiduciary duties. Legal support is often required for these disputes.

What are the rights of international trust beneficiaries?

International trust beneficiaries typically have the right to receive information, trust distributions, and to take legal action if a trustee breaches their duties.

How do courts handle offshore trust disputes?

Courts typically apply the governing law specified in the trust deed, and international cases may involve cooperation between legal systems or require litigation in offshore jurisdictions.
