Private Trust

Preserve your assets with a trust, ensuring enduring financial security and management over your assets for future generations

A Trust is a legal arrangement in which an asset ownership is transferred from the person who sets up the Trust (Client, also known as Settlor) to another person/corporation (Trustee) for the benefit of one or more people (Beneficiaries).

How does a Private Trust work?


Step 1: Trust Creation with Maybank Trustees Berhad (MTB)

Step 2: Asset transfer from Settlor to MTB

Step 3: Asset preservation and distribution to Settlor’s beneficiaries

Why is it important to have a trust?


  • Protect assets from potential risk and ensure your wealth is preserved and passed down to future generations, providing a foundation for the financial security and success of future family members.
  • Provide a framework for long-term planning, ensuring assets are preserved and distributed in a way that supports financial needs during your incapacitation.
  • Protect vulnerable beneficiaries such as minors, individuals with disabilities, and those facing financial hardships, ensuring their interests are shielded from potential exploitation, unfair treatment, or mishandling of inheritance.
  • Facilitate and continue your charitable giving and support causes that are important to you and the family, helping to create a legacy of giving for future generations.
