A trust is a sophisticated estate and succession planning tool, widely used by families and investors seeking asset protection, confidentiality, and efficiency in the transfer of wealth. It remains the most effective instrument for a legacy guided by the settlor’s directives.

​

We combine the security and tradition of BVI legislation with the convenience of client service in Portuguese, ensuring that each fiduciary structure is clear, efficient, and aligned with the long-term goals of the family or investor.

​

It is important to highlight that BVI law offers flexible, internationally recognized fiduciary structures that can accommodate both simple family arrangements and complex scenarios. Among the available options, one stands out as a unique BVI solution: the VISTA Trust.
 

• Traditional Trust: the classic structure where a trustee manages assets for the benefit of one or more beneficiaries, and which can be either revocable or irrevocable.
   

• VISTA Trust: a structure exclusive to the BVI that allows the settlor to retain certain powers and control over assets without compromising the validity of the trust—ideal for those who wish to preserve influence over companies or specific investments.
