Jersey foundations: the birth of the incorporated trust?
*Alan Binnington, Private Client Director, RBC Wealth Management. Email: alan.binnington{at}mourant.com
In this article, the author looks at the genesis of the Jersey foundation and compares some of its features to those of the well-established Jersey trust. Given the island's experience as a centre for trust administration, he questions whether what has been created is not so much a civil law foundation as an incorporated trust.
