The Perpetuities (Amendment) Act, 2024 officially came into effect on 22 August 2024.

This update strengthens the trust and estate planning sector within the Cayman Islands' financial services industry. The amendment removes the mandatory perpetuity period of 150 years for many existing and future trusts, providing greater flexibility for trust management and estate planning.
