Will Trust Assets Be Affected If I Am Involved in a Marriage Lawsuit?
Licensed trust services act like a firewall, with strong confidentiality features. According to the Recognition of Trusts Ordinance (Cap. 76, Section 2, Section 11, Schedule 2), trust assets are independent and do not belong to the trust company’s own property; they are managed by trustees in accordance with the trust terms. Therefore, in principle, assets held in a trust account will not form part of marital property. Moreover, if the trust has a legitimate purpose and a duration of more than five years, the likelihood of trust assets being traced back is very low.
Trusts provide powerful protection for your wealth during marital disputes, helping maintain stability in life.
