A foreign grantor business trust is a specific type of trust set up under non-U.S. law where the grantor (the person or entity who establishes the trust and transfers assets into it) is a non-U.S. person or entity. It functions much like any business trust but with the added complexity of dealing with international legal and tax issues.<\/p>\n
In a typical trust arrangement, the grantor transfers assets to the trust, which is managed by a trustee for the benefit of the trust beneficiaries. The trustee has a fiduciary duty to manage the assets in the best interest of the beneficiaries.<\/p>\n
