Labuan Trust

A trusted framework for asset protection, estate planning, and fiduciary management across generations.

LABUAN TRUST

A Labuan Trust is a legal arrangement created under the Labuan Trusts Act 1996, where a settlor transfers assets to a trustee to be managed for the benefit of one or more beneficiaries or for a specific charitable/non-charitable purpose. It is commonly used for asset protection, estate planning, wealth preservation, and charitable giving.
