In episode 6 of our On the sofa podcast, Christian Hay, Collas Crill's head of
dispute resolution in Guernsey, discusses crypto-assets in private
wealth structures with Matt Gilligan, Associate Director at Saffery
Champness in Guernsey, and Chris Recker, Associate at Duane Morris
in London.
Crypto-assets are now owned by some of the world's
wealthiest individuals and, despite the jury being out in some
jurisdictions on their tax and legal status, holding these assets
through corporate vehicles and trust structures is an attractive
proposition for some.
This discussion outlines some of the challenges of this asset
class and offers guidance to trustees on how to avoid the pitfalls
and protect both their beneficiaries and themselves.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
