Trusts (Jersey) Law 1984 — Proposed amendments - Consultation Document

Jersey is considered one of the finest trusts jurisdictions in the world. Our trust industry is firmly established as a market leader, offering a sophisticated and established product backed up by a strong body of case law. This is coupled with the high quality of service offered by Jersey’s trust company businesses to their clients worldwide.

The backbone of this success story is the Trusts (Jersey) Law (“the Law”) which came into force in 1984. It has been amended four times, most recently in 2006 (“the Fourth Amendment”). There were several proposals contemplated at the time but not ultimately included in the Fourth Amendment. This paper considers these and further amendments. 

Various proposals are set out in this paper and comments are invited to be sent to the addresses stated by 19 September 2008. Responses will then be reviewed to enable the Economic Development Department to determine whether these proposals are supported and whether any amendments are required. 

Please note the deadline for responces to the consultation will be 19 September 2008.
