Law Governing Trusts

Issued by the Rwandan government, this legislation establishes a comprehensive legal framework for creating, validating, and operating trusts within the jurisdiction. It defines trustee appointment procedures, fiduciary duties, powers, liabilities, and mandatory registration requirements for both domestic and foreign trusts. The law further mandates beneficial ownership registers, grants courts broad intervention and modification powers, and outlines specific trust classifications including purpose, charitable, and protective structures.
