Jersey has over the last six decades maintained its
reputation as a stable, well-regulated and pre-eminent fiduciary
jurisdiction. Indeed, Jersey has recognised trusts for many years
prior to the introduction of the Trusts (Jersey) Law in 1984. Since
then, its trust legislation has been emulated by jurisdictions
around the world and the Island currently has over 30,000 trusts
worth more than £600 billion1.
Its fiduciary and private client expertise runs deep, with
Jersey boasting one of the largest (if not the most) qualified
memberships of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners
(STEP), amongst many other professional qualifications. The sector
is also supported by a strong presence of reputable private client
law firms and tax practitioners.
