Estate Management Services in Malta

Fiduciary Services in Malta may only be offered by companies who are specifically authorized by the Malta Financial Services Authority to provide fiduciary and trustee services. A person may want to hold shares in companies through an authorized Malta fiduciary for a number of reasons, the most common reason being confidentiality vis-à-vis competitors and family members. Ownership of the shares still rests with the ultimate beneficial owners and therefore full control over the Malta structure is retained by the owners.

Malta has established itself as one of the most stable jurisdictions in which to establish trusts, whether inter vivos or testamentary as well foundations and associations. At Chetcuti Cauchi we have years of experience of working in the field of asset protection and estate planning. Our Estate Management team includes lawyers, accountants and tax advisors who bring together the strategic combination of skills and experience necessary for the running of a high-caliber trust and fiduciary operation whilst maintaining the highest levels of personalized services our clients  expect.

Licensed Trustee

Claris Trustees and Fiduciaries Ltd is Chetcuti Cauchi’s wholly-owned, licensed trustee and foundation administrator and today stands as one of Malta’s foremost fiduciary companies in the local and international scenario.

Trusts and foundations set up in Malta may benefit from favourable tax treatment. Our Estate Management professionals give personal attention to clients’ requests, coupled with tax advice and prompt service that is only available at a boutique set up like ours.

The integration of personal and business issues is on the priority list of our trustees and advisors when they are working hand in hand with clients to find the best possible solution for the clients’ estate planning needs.

Trusts

Malta trusts involve an obligation on the trustees to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries. At Chetcuti Cauchi, our team of Maltese fiduciary and trust specialists emphasises the importance of confidentiality, integrity and quality, and enjoys a proven track record of success in the field.

Malta trusts may own any type of asset, including real estate, cash at bank and yachts. However, the most important function is that of holding shares in companies, whether registered in Malta or outside of Malta. Apart from being experts in the field, specializing in tax, estate planning, trust and probate matters, our professionals as trustees take meticulous care to familiarise themselves and become knowledgeable of the client’s family affairs, their business and their tax and background in order to give the best advice possible in every case on the implications of settling of shares in Malta companies in Malta trusts, or holding them through fiduciary shareholding, having long-standing experience in providing tax and estate planning advice.
