After a lot of teething troubles, the register of trusts is now finally up and running properly.

For those of you with existing trusts, it is important that you register your trust before the end of June. If you fail to do so, your trust will cease to be valid.

There are two ways to do this:

1. Do it yourself: You can register your trust yourself by following the instructions at https://isesf.justice.cz/ Unfortunately, we cannot say this is a simple process. That is why we are offering a second option;
2. We can do it for you: We can prepare all the necessary documents for you, send them to you for signature and then submit them to the relevant registration court. As this is a somewhat time-consuming process, we can offer this service to you for a fixed fee of 1,500 CZK per trust plus the cost of any disbursements (official copies etc)

If you would like to take advantage of this offer, please email us at info@trusty.cz and we will get to work.

One of our weaknesses in the four years of our company’s existence has been the lack of a physical presence in Moravia. This is reflected in the fact that our current clients are disproportionately from Bohemia. For almost all clients at least one personal meeting is an important step in establishing a trust, and the trip from Brno to Prague has sometimes been too much of an obstacle.

That’s why we are delighted to announce the launch of our new office in Brno.

Our presence in Moravia is via a partnership with well respected Brno law firm, Bulinský, Vávra & Partners. As well as being a senior lawyer with the firm, Mgr. Monika Hofrichterová, who will be representing our interests in the region, is very knowledgeable about trusts and is a graduate of the APRSF Trust Training course.

Clients from the region will now be able to establish a trust and obtain professional trust advice without needing to travel to Prague. Our Brno presence is open now and can be contacted at brno@trusty.cz

We have good working relationships with a number of other law firms in Moravia, and it is important for us to emphasise that our Brno presence is designed only for direct clients, that is clients who contact us directly, be it by telephone or through the internet. In the case of business sourced from lawyers and other professionals, because we respect your client relationships, this business will continue to be handled from Prague
