A Trust is a legal agreement that enables a person, known as the settlor, to transfer the ownership of assets to another party, the trustee, for the benefit of a chosen person or group of people, known as the beneficiaries.

The main benefits of using trusts include:

• Wealth protection and planning
• Tax planning
• Avoidance of UK Inheritance tax (specific conditions must be met)
• Avoidance of probate
• Avoidance of forced heirship
• Protecting assets for future generations
• Control of assets

A Cyprus Property Trust from EWMT guarantees security for the family and avoids the cost and delays often associates with Cyprus probate.

“Inheritance tax is broadly speaking a voluntary levy paid by those who distrust the heirs more than they dislike the Inland Revenue” Roy Jenkine 1986
