The Isle of Man is a common law jurisdiction and normally enacts its trust legislation in line with English trust law, although it incorporates certain advantageous variations; for example, there is no restriction on the accumulation of income during the trust period. As Manx trust law is so well established, the Isle of Man is frequently used for setting up trusts for estate and tax planning and offers many advantages to those seeking to create an optimally constituted trust.

Simcocks are highly experienced in the preparation, drafting and establishing of trusts, as well as advising trustees, beneficiaries and settlors. Ongoing trust administration is provided by Simcocks Trust Limited.
