Property in Malta can also be acquired via a trust. The setting up of trusts in Malta is regulated by the Trusts and Trustees Act 2004.  Malta has built a reputation as a respected and stable trust jurisdiction, based on a modern trust law, proper authorisation and regulation of trustees and a respected judicial system. 

The trust is increasingly being adopted for varying levels of asset protection and estate planning. Foreign and local families alike are not too reluctant to shed the pride of direct property ownership in favour of a well-planned family strategy and competent property management that can be provided by a professional trust company, often recommended by the family’s trusted lawyer.

Therefore, it is now very common for property to be bought in trust for use by the new Malta resident family and friends, and to be maintained and managed in the best interests of the beneficiaries and in a manner that maximises the property investment held in trust. As specialist property trustees, we are able to competently manage a real estate portfolio in an effective manner, bringing together expertise not only in trust and financial management but also in property investment, development and management, as well as considerable experience in real estate transactions in Malta.

Our unique staff complement brings together lawyers, tax advisors, architects, planning specialists and property specialists to ensure we are able to meets the demands of a long-term property trust relationship.  For instance, our in-house property lawyers have considerable experience in real estate transactions in Malta and can act in the best interest of your property trust  in residential or commercial property acquisitions, sales and leases.  We are able to draft a property trust deed that suits your family's objectives, life-time goals and tax-optimisation ambitions.  We also handle the conveyancing procedures necessary under Maltese law, ensuring a thorough property due diligence from all aspects - legal, planning, and structural... to ensure a good start to a sound property investment.
