Trust Registration in Malta

Why Malta

Trusts in Malta are regulated by the Trusts & Trustee Act, 2004 which have significant trust concepts derived from UK law. Malta Trusts are however more flexible and simplified, making Malta an attractive alternative than other, more traditional trust jurisdictions.

Trusts under Maltese law indicate that the trustee and the beneficiary as two of the main elements of a trust, the law also has a the third player in this relationship this being the settlor, who is the person who settles property in the trust.
