Anne Campbell

Experience

• Advising trustees on the varying of two discretionary Bermuda law trusts under the Perpetuities and Accumulations Act 2009 and s.47 of the Trustee Act 1975 with Swiss beneficiaries to remove the requirement for the trusts funds of each of the trusts to vest in possession and to dis-apply the rules against perpetuities so that the trusts become perpetual. Advising the trustees to seek the appointment of new protectors of both trusts. This led to two successful applications to the Bermuda Court to extend the duration of the trusts and approve the new protector appointments.
• Advising local and international clients on wealth preservation and family succession structures through estate and tax planning.
• Obtaining grants of representation for estates with non-resident deceased persons and resealing of foreign grants under Bermuda law.
