Alex Picot Trust

About Alex Picot Trust

Owner-managed by its working directors, this St Helier trust company traces its predecessors back to 1885 and has handled trust work since the 1930s, with the trust company itself established in 1977 and separated from the affiliated accountancy practice in 2015. It serves private clients and family offices, including international and UK-connected families, and also acts for local Jersey residents. The team of several dozen includes chartered accountants, tax practitioners and trust professionals. Alongside trusts and company administration, the firm runs in-house accounting and tax compliance, and a relocation service for wealthy individuals and families planning a move to Jersey under the high value residency route or a business licence. Prospective non-resident clients are expected to have taken tax advice in their home country before making contact. Fee guidance is published for Jersey companies and trusts.
