A Family Heritage...
Lorne House Trust Limited has been resident at Lorne House during all of its 25 year history. This magnificent 18th century house, built in Castletown in the south of the Isle of Man, has been home to several distinguished local families, in addition to the Island's first Governors. The grandeur it enjoyed in earlier times has once again been restored by its new proprietor, Roy Tilleard. The spacious grounds and solid stone walls of Lorne House elicit an air of privacy, benefiting the Lorne House Family Office, which prides itself in affording confidentiality and discretion to its clients and intermediaries.

An Island of Opportunity...
The Isle of Man is an established, AAA-rated international finance centre, with a secure base built on the political stability of its 1,000 year-old parliament, low taxation and a firmly established fiscal and regulatory environment independent of the UK. More recently the Island has attracted increasing numbers of wealthy individuals with favourable limits on individual income tax liabilities. In addition to the security and excellent quality of life the island has always offered, this represents an attractive proposal for many individuals seeking a permanent place of residence here. The introduction of new investment and taxation vehicles have successfully maintained and developed the Island's status as one of the premier finance centres, the Isle of Man Government implementing a zero corporate tax strategy on 6th April 2006. Companies established under Isle of Man law are used internationally, and outside of the UK, the Isle of Man is the most popular jurisdiction for the incorporation and administration of AIM-listed companies. The Isle of Man is a Common Law rather than a Civil Law jurisdiction, and through both legal precedent and legislation, it has established a robust framework for trusts to flourish, affording protection to trust assets and to settlors and beneficiaries.
