Overview

Hong Kong trust structures can support legitimate succession, asset holding, philanthropy and family governance when designed around the family and assets.

Coutts Consultants coordinates hong kong trust & succession structuring coordination as a defined Hong Kong professional-services engagement. We establish the client's commercial objective and review settlor, beneficiaries, trustee, protector, assets, succession objectives, residence, tax and trust terms.

Hong Kong combines Companies Registry requirements with Inland Revenue Department tax administration and, where relevant, Immigration Department, SFC, HKMA, Customs and sector-specific regulation. The engagement is scoped around the actual business rather than a generic package. We prepare a tailored evidence list and coordinate the appropriate authority, financial institution or Hong Kong specialist.

Reserved legal, tax, audit, immigration or regulated financial-services work is undertaken by appropriately qualified professionals, and all registrations, licences, visas and bank accounts remain subject to the competent authority or provider.
