o The person who acts to protect the trust. This individual has power to control the company benefits so that they are properly located.
In the International Trust by the Cyprus, there are various restrictions that the offshore companies operating in must adhere to. These are: The individual playing the settlor role must not be a native of Cyprus, all the properties under the ownership of the trust does not include the Cypriot immobile assets such as buildings, land etc, lastly it is required that at least one of the trustees be a citizen of Cyprus.
