Trusts and Foundations

As a Civil Law jurisdiction, Malta has been active in the sector of fiduciary obligations for quite a while. Trusts, although predominantly common-law creatures, have existed under our law since 1988. Meanwhile, in 2007, the law on Foundations and Associations was promulgated and since then, the law regulating such structures has evolved. Our specialised legal team within the firm’s Trusts & Foundations Department, headed by Dr. Monica Galea John, has an in-depth understanding and vast experience in this field and regularly assists clients with creating the correct structure that suits their personal needs, whether it is for estate planning, charitable or commercial purposes. The main advantages of these kinds of structures include, amongst others, estate planning, asset protection, security, mobility and flexibility.

The Department also works hand in hand with the Fenlex Group, the firm’s corporate services arm which, via their licensed Trustee company namely, Fenlex Trust Services Ltd., are able to offer trustee and administrator services to our clients.
