British Virgin Islands: Trusts
20 February 2024
The British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a leading international finance centre with a well-established trusts industry. BVI trusts are governed by English legal principles, as supplemented by the Trustee Ordinance 1961 (the Trustee Act), an advanced and modern piece of legislation which offers both flexibility and a high degree of protection for the parties involved which means that it's a particularly advantageous jurisdiction in which to establish a trust.
