Fiducie FAQs

What is a Fiducie?

A Fiducie is the French equivalent of an English trust, used to transfer property or assets to a trustee for a specific purpose while still retaining the benefits of the property for the owner or someone else. To be valid, a fiducie must be registered with both the national registry and the French Inland Revenue.

What is the purpose of a fiducie?

A fiducie serves two purposes: it can be used to ensure that an obligation is fulfilled (such as repaying a loan), or as a way to manage an asset for a specific period of time. This allows for a trustee to manage the assets on behalf of the beneficiary, ensuring that their interests are protected.

Are a fiducie and a fiduciary the same?

No, a fiduciary is a person who is responsible for managing someone else’s money or property. If you become a fiduciary, you have a legal obligation to manage that person’s money and property for their benefit, not for your own. In other words, you must act in the person’s best interest and put their needs first.
