About

Provided by Butterfield

Guernsey is a leading international trust centre with a stable, well-regulated environment, an independent legal system and a strong common-law heritage. Its shared language and time zone with the UK make it accessible to families and advisers. Modern trust legislation supports family and non-charitable purpose trusts, while respected courts and an established fiduciary sector provide long-term certainty. Protectors, reserved powers and enforcers enable tailored, resilient structures.

Our wealth-structuring services include trusts and foundations for asset protection, estate and succession planning, charitable giving and intergenerational wealth transfer, supported by governance, compliance and accounting.

Family-office services cover tax and estate planning, alternative-investment administration, consolidated reporting, entity governance and multi-jurisdictional operations.

We establish and administer charitable foundations, private funds and impact-investment strategies aligned with clients’ values and long-term goals.

Our teams also structure and administer luxury and complex assets, including yachts, aircraft, artwork, classic cars and country estates.

Corporate and institutional services include entity incorporation and management, employee benefit trusts, retirement plans, director services and customised fiduciary and administrative arrangements.
