A private family trust company (PFTC) is an entity formed and governed by a family to serve as trustee for that family’s trusts. In Wyoming, this structure has become an attractive option for families who want a trustee arrangement that is more customized, more durable, and more governance-centered than traditional alternatives. When structured correctly, the Wyoming Private Family Trust Company can combine the personalization of a family-centered structure with the continuity and discipline of a professional trustee.
Who Benefits from a Wyoming PFTC?
A Wyoming private family trust company is worth considering where a family has multiple trusts, meaningful asset complexity, and a desire for family-centered governance. It can also be attractive where the family wants to stay in the driver’s seat while creating a more durable fiduciary structure.
