Foreign Trusts

With today’s global economy, New Zealand Foreign Trusts are becoming an option for an increasing number of people. Whether the settlor is an ex-New Zealand resident, has personal connections in New Zealand, or has business connections New Zealand, we help overseas residents establish and administer their Foreign Trust.

We are experienced in assisting clients with Foreign Trusts who are relocating to New Zealand transition their Trust to a Complying Trust. Such a transition needs to be completed carefully to prevent the Foreign Trust from becoming a Non-Complying Trust.
