AleeanPeace Family Office Limited operates as the holding company of GreenPro Trust Limited. “GreenPro Trust” is an independent trust company registered under Section 78(1) of Hong Kong’s Trustee Ordinance (Cap. 29). GreenPro Trust specializes in providing professional and compliant international trust services for both individual and corporate clients, ensuring a robust legal and financial framework. Over the years, it has earned clients’ trust by delivering the highest quality services. We act as statutory trustees and custodians. In addition, our team also provides licensed asset management services, ensuring that your assets are safeguarded by the most professional hands.

We also take pride in our strong legal compliance. By adhering to the highest standards in client service arrangements, we are confident in providing quality protection that shields clients from potential regulatory and litigation risks.

Sure. In principle, the primary role of a trust company is to hold assets for clients, managing them according to the client’s wishes and always prioritizing the interests of beneficiaries. Secondarily, the company may consider asset growth based on client instructions.

Beyond the basic benefits of a trust—such as asset segregation, confidentiality, and protection—a licensed trust company can also handle daily bill payments, secretarial functions, bank transfers, assistance in opening securities accounts, global asset allocation, and even cryptocurrency transactions. As long as clients request, we strive to cooperate.

This flexibility makes a trust not only a protective tool but also a partner in everyday wealth management, helping you easily meet life’s financial needs.

Most assets in China cannot be directly transferred into an offshore trust. If they are held through an overseas company, trustees may consider holding the company on behalf of the client. Our legal team will assess feasibility and provide tailored alternatives.

We help you enhance cross-border wealth allocation strategies, positioning the trust as the global core of your planning.

Your assets will be distributed under Hong Kong’s Intestates’ Estates Ordinance (Cap. 73). Family members must apply for a death certificate and then seek probate from the High Court. According to Section 21 of the Non-Contentious Probate Rules (Cap. 10A), if a person dies intestate, those with beneficial interests in the estate—such as a surviving spouse, children, or parents—are entitled to obtain administration.

In contrast, if assets are managed by a licensed trust, upon the settlor’s death, the trustee will distribute the assets according to the settlor’s wishes. Beneficiaries do not need to go through costly and lengthy statutory procedures, nor is there a need to appoint an executor. To avoid future disputes, it is advisable to make arrangements with clear intentions in advance.

A trust helps bypass these cumbersome steps, ensuring smoother estate distribution, reducing conflicts, and truly reflecting your wishes.

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.

Yes. You may designate categories such as children or grandchildren as beneficiaries. Under Section 46 of the Trustee Ordinance (Cap. 29), the court may issue orders relating to the interests of unborn persons.

This allows you to plan ahead for the future, ensuring peace of mind across generations.

According to Section 41 of the Trustee Ordinance (Cap. 141), foreign succession laws do not affect the transfer of movable property. Immovable property, however, is governed by the law of its location.

This helps you achieve global diversification, making trusts a powerful tool for international wealth management.

In Hong Kong, a trust can exist indefinitely if not terminated, providing perpetual protection of assets. If it is a revocable trust, you may terminate it at any time (under Section 3A of the Perpetuities and Accumulations Ordinance Cap. 257).

This perpetual nature makes trusts an ideal intergenerational tool, ensuring estate continuity while offering flexibility for termination.

Anyone can be designated, including yourself (under Section 2(c) of the Recognition of Trusts Ordinance Cap. 76). If no specific individual is named, you may designate groups such as children or descendants. This adds flexibility and accommodates diverse family needs.
