Singapore offers a robust legal framework for trusts, strong rule of law, political stability, and a favorable tax environment. There is no capital gains tax, and foreign-sourced income can be structured tax-efficiently. Singapore's reputation as a premier wealth management hub adds credibility to trust structures.
Common trust types include discretionary trusts (most flexible), fixed trusts, purpose trusts, and charitable trusts. The choice depends on your objectives — whether asset protection, succession planning, wealth preservation, or philanthropic goals.
Yes. We routinely handle trust structures that involve PRC-related assets, ensuring compliance with both Singapore and Chinese regulations. Our team understands both legal systems and coordinates carefully across jurisdictions to keep every arrangement fully compliant.
While there is no legal minimum in Singapore, trusts typically become cost-effective for assets exceeding US$2-3 million. For assets below this threshold, we can recommend alternative wealth structuring solutions that may be more suitable.
Absolutely. Trusts are one of the most effective tools for business succession planning. They allow business owners to transfer ownership while maintaining control, protect the business from family disputes, and ensure professional management continuity.
