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

family's objectives, life-time goals and tax-optimisation
