British Virgin Islands Private Trust Companies 

A client wishing to create a trust has to come to terms with the requirement to transfer legal ownership of assets to the trustee. In the context of offshore wealth planning, the trustee may be a service provider's professional trust company, likely to be operating in a foreign jurisdiction. If the client is concerned about taking this step, one solution may be the use of a private trust company (PTC). This is a corporate trustee established for the purpose of acting as trustee of a specific trust or trusts.
