Trusts, foundations, security trusts, and nominee services through our MFSA-licensed fiduciary platform.
Fiduciary services are provided through group company Premier Fiduciary and Trusts Limited, regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority to act as a Trustee and to provide Fiduciary Services.
A trust is a legal arrangement where a settlor transfers assets to a trustee, who holds and manages them for the benefit of designated beneficiaries. Malta's Trusts and Trustees Act provides a robust framework recognised across common and civil law jurisdictions.
We handle the full establishment process including drafting of the trust deed, appointment of Premier Fiduciary and Trusts Limited as trustee, and structuring the trust to meet your asset protection and succession planning objectives.
Premier Fiduciary and Trusts Limited acts as a licensed professional trustee, ensuring independent and compliant administration of trust assets in accordance with the trust deed and applicable law.
Through Premier Fiduciary and Trusts Limited, we act as Qualified Person under the Trusts and Trustees Act — principally required where a foreign trustee, or a non-professional local trustee, holds immovable property situated in Malta or shares in a Maltese company. The Qualified Person provides the Malta-regulated point of contact for such holdings.
A security trust is a specialised arrangement where assets are held by a trustee as collateral to secure obligations owed to one or more creditors. It is commonly used in lending, bond issuance, and structured finance transactions.
We structure and establish security trusts tailored to the underlying transaction, drafting the security trust deed and coordinating with legal counsel, lenders, and counterparties to ensure enforceability.
Premier Fiduciary and Trusts Limited acts as an independent security trustee, holding collateral on behalf of secured parties and administering enforcement procedures in accordance with the trust terms.
A Malta foundation is an independent legal entity established to hold and manage assets for specified purposes or beneficiaries. Governed by the Second Schedule to the Civil Code, foundations offer a civil law alternative to trusts with full legal personality.
We manage the complete formation process including drafting of the deed, notarial registration, and structuring the foundation as either a public or private entity to suit your wealth planning and succession objectives.
Our team provides ongoing foundation administration, including compliance with statutory obligations, preparation of accounts, and coordination with auditors and regulatory authorities on behalf of the foundation.
We assist with the orderly winding-up of foundations, managing the distribution of remaining assets to beneficiaries, settlement of liabilities, and completion of all regulatory deregistration requirements.
We provide regulated nominee services for clients who require an additional layer of confidentiality in the holding of assets. Our nominee arrangements cover the holding of shares, assets under mandate or deposit, and the execution of instructions on behalf of beneficial owners, all within a fully compliant and transparent framework.
