The Government of Belize enacted the Trusts Act to consolidate and modernize the legal framework governing trusts, incorporating amendments from 2007 and 2013. The legislation establishes comprehensive rules for the creation, validity, and administration of trusts, including provisions for protective trusts, non-charitable purposes, and the roles of trustees and protectors. It further mandates the registration of domestic and international trusts while defining the powers of the Court to supervise trust operations and address breaches of trust.
