Mauritian Trust Q&A Webinar
Offshore assets in a global portfolio are often held in an individual’s name, which can create unintended South African tax and estate-planning consequences. These include exposure to estate duty and repeated costs such as CGT, executor’s fees and further estate duty as assets transfer between generations, potentially eroding the value preserved for beneficiaries over time.
This session offers a practical overview of Mauritian trusts, who they may suit, key considerations and costs, common pitfalls to avoid, and concludes with a live Q&A.
