THE TRUST: SECURE, MANAGE, TRANSFER
What is a trust ?

The trust is a legal mechanism established by Law No. 2007-211 of February 19, 2007 in France. It allows a person or a company, called the settlor, to temporarily transfer assets, rights, or securities to a trustee. These assets are placed into a separate estate, called the trust estate, which is completely distinct from that of the trustee.

 

This secure and rigorously regulated framework ensures the administration of assets according to the objectives set out in a trust agreement crafted together with our team: protection, management, enhancement, or security.

 

The trust can be implemented in two main forms, tailored to the specific needs of each situation.

Trust-Management

A Tool for Administering , Enhancing and/or Transmitting an Estate

Trust-Management allows a settlor to assign assets to a trustee while remaining the beneficiary of the income or profits generated from those assets. This arrangement is popular with families and businesses seeking to optimize the management of their estate.

 

This structure is particularly suitable in situations such as the management of assets, especially those located in France and owned by non-residents, whether directly or through an intermediary structure, the transmission of estates, the management of relations between partners, or the administration of the estates of vulnerable individuals.

 

Here, the trust agreement is concluded between the settlor, who is also the beneficiary, and the trustee. This mechanism finds practical application in various situations, including:

 

➤ Isolating an asset to address a liability.
➤ Managing family or professional wealth.
➤ Safeguarding and/or transferring assets in a secure manner.

Trust-Security

A Strong Guarantee
to Ensure the Payment of a Debt

The trust-security is regarded as a preferred legal mechanism in financing arrangements.
This mechanism allows a debtor (settlor) to transfer assets as security for a debt contracted with a creditor (beneficiary).If the obligations are not fulfilled, the assets can be transferred to the beneficiary to cover the debt.

 

Here, the trust agreement is signed by three parties: the beneficiary, holder of the debt, the settlor, debtor of the debt, and the trustee, responsible for ensuring the contract’s compliance.

 

These two forms serve different objectives but share a rigorous framework, ensuring security and transparency for all parties involved.

 

At the conclusion of the trust, the profits or benefits generated within the trust estate are redistributed to the settlor or a third-party beneficiary, as applicable.
The security trust is particularly well-suited for the following situations:

 

➤ Ensuring the payment of a debt.
➤ Protecting the settlor’s assets from the risks of liquidation or bankruptcy.
