Belizean Trusts

Belize’s trust law is one of the strongest and most flexible asset protection trust legislations in the world. Belize established a Belize Trust Act in 1992 which incorporated the best features of similar laws prevailing in other major offshore jurisdictions such as Cayman, Panama and Bermuda. A validly set up Belize trust is highly secure since it may not be set aside on the basis of claims from creditors in another jurisdiction, or the order of a foreign court on account of divorce, bankruptcy etc. The Registrar is required to issue a certificate of registration and an entry in the register of trusts cannot be opened for any inspection without the written consent of the trustee.
