Trusts and Private Interest Foundations
Galindo, Arias & López is proud to be one of Panama's leading law firms in the areas of Trusts and Private Interest Foundations. To achieve this leadership position we have established a modern, efficient, and thoroughly professional structure of the highest level to operate both locally and internationally. Through our affiliates, GALA Trust and Management Services, Inc. and Regal Trust (BVI) Ltd., we can provide individuals, corporate clients and families a series of complete, trustworthy, and integral advice in the field of estate planning, wealth management, and the preservation and transfer of estates for local and international operations. We are proud of our outstanding quality record in providing these services, having worked with over 74,000 trust clients in one year alone.
The long tradition of trusts has led Panama to develop a complete and detailed body of trust legislations. Our affiliates therefore operate and render their trust services under the control and supervision of Panama's Superintendency of Banks, which gives our clients the confidence and peace of mind they need.
Private Interest Foundations have also gained much acceptance, and Panama has taken the initiative to adopt them into their legislation, thus bringing a groundbreaking strategy into the American Continent. This legislation has enabled us to offer valuable and functional legal instruments which have been progressively gaining more popularity due to its flexibility and efficiency in the management of personal and family estates.
