Speak to our teamFrequently asked.
Direct answers on foundations, trusts, control, succession and substance.
What is the difference between a Labuan foundation and a Labuan trust?
A Labuan foundation is a registered legal entity that owns its assets in its own name under a charter. A Labuan trust is a relationship in which a trustee holds assets for beneficiaries under a deed, with no separate entity and no mandatory registration. A trust is usually lighter to set up. A foundation gives separate legal personality and strong continuity for complex estates. We help you choose on control, privacy and succession.
Can assets in a Labuan structure pass to the next generation without probate?
Yes. Assets held in a Labuan foundation or trust can pass to the next generation under the structure's own rules, outside the probate process that often delays direct inheritance. This keeps succession private and avoids the contests that can attach to a will. We draft the governing documents so the transfer follows your intentions.
What is a Labuan private trust company?
A Labuan private trust company is a dedicated corporate trustee for one family or group of connected persons, used for dynastic planning and wealth transfer. It must be incorporated under the Labuan Companies Act 1990, maintain a registered office in Labuan, and appoint a licensed Labuan trust company as its agent. We act in that licensed-agent role and run the administration.
How does a Labuan protected cell company protect assets?
A Labuan protected cell company is one legal entity that can form separate cells. Each cell is legally segregated, so the assets and liabilities of one cell are ring-fenced from the others. This suits multi-class investment and family office portfolios held in a single structure. We administer the core and the cells and keep the segregation documented.
What are the substance requirements for a Labuan family office structure?
Labuan structures used for family office activity must meet economic substance requirements, with employees performing core income-generating activities in Labuan and minimum annual operating expenditure in Labuan. A private trust company, for example, requires at least three full-time employees and minimum annual operating expenditure of RM 120,000. We design the footprint so the structure stays compliant from day one.
Who administers the structure once it is set up?
We do. As a licensed Labuan trust company we act as professional trustee, council member or licensed agent depending on the vehicle, and run the ongoing administration: record keeping, filings and beneficiary communication. Where a formal legal opinion is required, we coordinate external counsel rather than issue the opinion ourselves.
