Escrow Services and Security Mechanisms

The introduction of trusts into Maltese law has presented the availability of a number of security-related solutions in both commercial and non-commercial contexts, introducing greater flexibility for the holding and enforcement of security arrangements, which are no longer limited to the traditional real or personal forms of security listed in the Civil Code but extend to arrangements which operate as security under the fiduciary rule of the trustee, including the trustee being the creditor himself, as would be the case in finance syndicates with the appointment of a security trustee.

These same legal developments have provided the framework for authorised trustees to act as escrow agents, instructed by the relevant parties to a transaction, to handle property in accordance with specific instructions.

CSB Trustees & Fiduciaries Limited acts as escrow agent in a number of commercial transactions, including transfers of intellectual property, transfers of internet domains, equity purchase and sale transactions and financing and security transactions.

• Acting as security trustee;
• Trust services in connection with investment transactions;
• Acting as escrow agent in the context of various commercial transactions;
• Holding, administration and safe-keeping of documents and financial and non-financial assets.
