Jack Carter writes for eprivateclient on the registration requirements for trust structures holding UK real estate

Part 1 of the Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Act 2022 establishes the register of overseas entities (ROE) and requires non-UK incorporated legal entities which are registered owners of UK real estate to register and provide information regarding their beneficial owners.

Associate, Jack Carter, in our Zurich office writes for eprivateclient on the registration requirements for trust structures holding UK real estate. In the article he examines:

  • Scenario A: Direct ownership by a trust
  • Scenario B: Ownership by a company held by a trust
  • Scenario C: Ownership by a nominee company holding for a trust

The full article was first published in eprivateclient (subscription required).
