The Trusts Act, in plain terms.
Belize's statutory architecture treats foreign creditor claims against Belize-domiciled trust assets as categorically outside the court's jurisdiction. There is no balancing test and no fraudulent-conveyance window for the court to peer through; the door is closed. The 2019 U.S. Bankruptcy Court decision in In re Rensin confirmed the practical consequence — creditors cannot reach Belize-domiciled trust assets without joining the Belize trustee, which Belize law makes substantially impossible.
The LLC Act, alongside.
Beyond the trusts statute, the Belize International Limited Liability Companies Act provides protections that rival the trust framework: onerous creditor-bond requirements before any claim may be filed, and an outright prohibition on certain types of fraudulent-transfer claims that would survive elsewhere. Used in conjunction with a Belize trust, the LLC forms what the planning literature describes as a double-walled structure.
Why we work here.
The firm has maintained continuous presence in Belize since 2011. Our familiarity with the local trustee community, the registry, and the relevant chambers means a Belize structure can be established and administered without the friction common to first-time engagement with the jurisdiction.
