About this statute

This provision says the law governs the establishment, recognition, and functioning of trusts. This law applies to trusts established under Rwandan law, trustees providing professional services in or from Rwanda, and procedures for recognition and enforceability of foreign trusts. This article defines key terms used in the trust law. A trust exists when a settlor transfers property to a trustee under the trust instrument so it can be managed for beneficiaries or a known purpose. Trust beneficiaries can be named or otherwise identifiable through their relationship to another person, including people who already exist or will exist.
