The Jersey court's high bar to rectification of trust documents
The line between rectification and improvement is a significant one in terms of trust documents. The Jersey Royal Court's judgment In The Matter of the H and J Trusts further clarifies the distinction.

Strong foundations lay sturdy base
Around 300 foundations have been incorporated in Jersey since a new law introduced them in 2009. They are not expected to overtake the Island's trusts as a vehicle any time soon, but there is increasing appetite in Europe especially, mostly due to the clarity and brevity of the law, compared to more long-standing foundation jurisdictions. Ogier's private client and trusts managing associate Josephine Howe reviews the developments…
