Documents needed to open a trust in Belize
The first requirement for opening a trust in Belize is to handle the necessary form submissions. The Belize Trust Application Form needs to be dully filled in by the parties. The form will include the following information:
- the personal details of the settlor (name, address, contact information),
- the detailed reasons for opening the trust and the proposed name,
- the type of fund (discretionary, purpose, charitable or other),
- how the initial monetary submission will be made (cash, share or stock, real property),
- information about the trustee.
Entrepreneurs can choose to appoint one of our Belize company registration agents as the trustee and in this case, the form will include the specific information provided by us.
Other aspects to consider when opening a Belize trust
The common documents filled in when
opening a trust will also include an accounting records declaration and a trustee indemnity agreement. A registration fee will also apply during this process.
There is no mandatory requirement for a minimum share capital when opening a trust and its long-term duration is an assurance that the protection of the assets is secured even for the heirs of the settlor.
Some of the main advantages of opening a trust in Belize include a simple registration procedure, a high degree of confidentiality and flexibility.
