Overview

Irish trusts can be used for legitimate succession, family wealth, charitable and asset-stewardship objectives, but their tax, legal and reporting consequences depend on the settlor, trustees, beneficiaries, assets and residence profile.

Coutts Consultants coordinates irish trust establishment & trustee coordination as a defined Irish professional service.

The engagement begins with the client's objective and a service-specific review of settlor objectives, trustees, beneficiaries, trust assets, residence, tax advice, trust deed, beneficial ownership and ongoing governance. We then establish the appropriate route, assemble the required information and coordinate the filing, application or professional work with the relevant Irish authority, institution or specialist.

Where Irish law reserves the work to a solicitor, tax adviser, auditor, immigration practitioner or other regulated professional, that work is undertaken by an appropriately qualified provider. Registrations, licences, permits, banking and regulatory approvals remain subject to the decision of the relevant authority or institution.
