A guide to trusts in Bermuda

PREFACE
The Appleby Guide to Trusts in Bermuda addresses the unique nature of the trust relationship and its most common uses. The Guide also demonstrates the flexibility and security that a trust offers as a vehicle for holding assets.

The information contained in this Guide is for information only and should not be considered as constituting legal advice. Readers are encouraged to consult their professional advisers before making decisions or taking actions on the numerous and complex issues involved in the establishment of a trust.

It is recognized that this Guide will not completely answer the detailed questions that clients and their advisors may have. It is intended to provide a sketch of Bermuda’s legal and fiduciary environment in relation to trusts. This Guide is, therefore, designed as a starting-point for a more detailed and comprehensive discussion of the issues.

While we have made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the statements made herein, we accept no liability for any errors. In all cases expert legal advice from a qualified practioner of Bermuda law should be obtained.
