Protectors In A Jersey Trust

Introduction

Jersey trusts are a popular and flexible vehicle for asset protection, estate planning, and wealth management for UHNW families across the world. One of the features of a Jersey trust is the option to include a 'Protector' to exercise certain important powers and work alongside the trustee.

For UHNW families thinking about establishing a Jersey trust, the appointment of a Protector can be a powerful means to ensure that a trust is administered in line with their long-term objectives. With proper structuring, a Protector can offer an additional layer of long-term control and oversight, ultimately helping to safeguard both the trust's assets and the interests of the beneficiaries.
