Turks & Caicos Islands

The Turks and Caicos economy is based on tourism, fishing, and offshore financial services. Most capital goods and food for domestic consumption are imported. The US was the leading source of tourists in 1996, accounting for more than half of the 87,000 visitors; tourist arrivals had risen to 93,000 by 1998. Major sources of government revenue include fees from offshore financial activities and customs receipts.

As is the case in Gibraltar it is a requirement that professional trustees be licensed and our close associate has one of only a limited number of professional trustee licenses issued. This is your assurance that we are fit and proper and have the necessary expertise and resources to establish and administer trusts in a wholly professional manner. Trusts have many applications and advantages, including the protection and preserving of assets, tax and estate planning or just avoiding the expense and delays of obtaining probate. They also provide a high degree of confidentiality.
