Statutory Trust, filed in your BOS.

A statutory trust is a business entity created under a state's trust statute, often used for investment funds, securitizations, and certain real estate and financial structures, that holds and manages assets under a trust agreement. Delaware statutory trusts are especially common. We flag whether it fits your structure and coordinate its formation.

Statutory trusts are commonly used in investment funds, asset securitization, real estate investment structures like 1031 DST arrangements, and other financial vehicles, so they suit specialized, often investment-driven, purposes. We flag whether your situation is one where a statutory trust is appropriate.

Delaware's well-developed trust law, flexibility, and familiarity to investors make the Delaware statutory trust a common choice for funds and structured finance, which is why many such vehicles are formed there. We flag whether Delaware fits your structure and coordinate formation there where appropriate.

We flag the considerations and coordinate with counsel and tax advisors so the trust is structured with its tax treatment in mind.

Yes: they are state-registered entities with filing and, depending on use, regulatory requirements, plus the terms of the trust agreement, so compliance depends on the structure. We flag the requirements and coordinate so your statutory trust stays compliant with both state and any applicable regulatory rules.

We flag whether a statutory trust fits your investment or structured-finance purpose, coordinate its formation under the appropriate state statute, and work with the counsel and trustees who structure it, so a specialized vehicle is set up correctly, while keeping any related entities organized.
