Panamanian Trust Law

Panamanian Trust Law

The trust has been recognized by Panamanian law for nearly three-quarters of a century. The original trust legislation has been amended several times, most recently in the mid-1980’s. The Firm assists its clients by advising as to the provisions of the law, giving counsel as to the use of trusts to obtain client’s goals, drafting trust instruments and administering trusts after their establishment.

The Panamanian trust is flexible and popular and can be used to hold and vote shares, hold assets during the lifetime of a person, with testamentary provisions, serve as an investment medium, protect assets of incompetents and minors and for several other purposes contemplated by law.

The Firm can assist clients who wish to establish trusts and similar vehicles in other jurisdictions.
