Trusts & Foundations
Trusts were first introduced under Maltese Law by legislative enactment in 1989. This legislative enactment was subsequently amended throughout the years and today trusts are regulated by the Trusts and Trustee Act, Chapter 331 of the Laws of Malta (hereinafter the ‘Act’).
The Act allows for the creation of trusts having Maltese law as their proper law. Although it is also possible for trusts created in Malta to be regulated by a foreign law. By virtue of The Recognition of Trusts Act of 1994 Malta also became a party to the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on their Recognition thereby allowing it to recognize the existence and validity of trusts established in any of the jurisdictions of the member states of this Convention and also increasing the potential of the Maltese trust.
