Trident Trust

Trident Trust is an independent global fiduciary provider. Its core role is professional trustee and trust or foundation administration, including cross-border family wealth structures. Wills are not a universal core proposition, and tax or legal advice usually sits with external advisers.

Confirm which entity is providing legal, tax or fiduciary services. These may be delivered by separate regulated firms.

Trident Trust may be relevant to International families, HNW individuals, family offices, advisers and intermediaries.

Published global reach: Very high.

Published reach is very high. Multi-jurisdiction capability — confirm the relevant estate, trust and legal jurisdictions directly.

Not a universal core proposition. Estate implementation is often coordinated with legal advisers.

Will validity and recognition depend on local law. A provider may coordinate legal drafting rather than draft the will itself.

Core capability across a broad range of jurisdictions.

Professional trustee: Core.

Trust and foundation treatment varies materially between jurisdictions.

Exceptional trust and foundation structuring capability. This is not a statement of universal estate administration.

Questions can include property in more than one country, beneficiaries living abroad, business interests, different inheritance laws, recognition of wills, where assets are situated, and where the family lives. Confirm which of these the provider actually coordinates.

Works closely with external lawyers, tax advisers and intermediaries. Tax and legal advice usually sits with those advisers.

Published coordination is not a statement that the provider itself gives every form of legal or tax advice.

Strong family governance and succession support within the fiduciary offering.

Family constitutions, councils, ownership transitions and family-business succession should be confirmed against the entity that would actually do the work.

Jurisdiction dependent and not a universal service.

Probate is not a single process that works the same way in every country. Collecting assets, paying liabilities and making distributions can each depend on the local court and the local law.

Trust and foundation structures can support charitable objectives.

Independent professional trustee and fiduciary service.

Fees are engagement-specific. A written scope may cover advisory work, legal drafting, trustee setup, an annual trustee fee, estate administration, probate, foundation administration or family-governance work. Only the items the provider actually offers should be on that schedule.
