Jersey is one of the world's leading jurisdictions in
which to establish and manage private wealth through trusts.
While many modern trusts include powers that allow the trustees
to amend the terms of their trusts without the Court's
assistance, there are circumstances where that is not possible and
Court approval is required for an action that goes beyond the
trustees' existing powers.
Applications to vary Jersey trusts are common and, when properly
prepared, are generally dealt with efficiently, pragmatically and
with sensitivity by the Royal Court of Jersey
(Court).
Reasons to vary a Jersey trust
Trusts established to hold family wealth are intended to last
for decades. A Jersey trust can, at least in theory, last
indefinitely.
