Trusts in Liechtenstein
Registered trusts. No general right of inspection or information exists for trusts in the commercial register; only publicly announced information is shown.
Liechtenstein has two things that both translate as "trust" and that the law keeps strictly apart. The Treuhänderschaft under Art. 897 ff. PGR is the trust in the common-law sense: not an entity at all, but a relationship in which a trustee holds assets for beneficiaries. The Treuunternehmen, under the Act of 1928, is by contrast a legal person with its own assets and a minimum capital of CHF 30,000.
Liechtenstein is the only German-speaking civil-law jurisdiction to have codified the trust. A Treuhänderschaft is registered only where the law or the trust deed requires it; many legitimately exist outside the register, so what appears here is the registered part.
Anyone searching for "Treuhänder" often means neither legal form but the licensed profession: trustees and trust companies require authorisation from the FMA and are listed in its public register. Those authorisations are grouped by category on this site and noted with status and date on every profile.
The legal forms behind this
A trust inside a civil-law system — not a legal person but a relationship between settlor and trustee.

Common questions
What is the difference between a Treuhänderschaft and a Treuunternehmen?
The Treuhänderschaft is a relationship with no legal personality of its own — a trustee holds assets for beneficiaries. The Treuunternehmen is a legal person in its own right with a minimum capital of CHF 30,000 under the Trust Enterprise Act of 1928.
Are all Liechtenstein trusts in the commercial register?
No. A Treuhänderschaft is entered only where the law or the trust deed requires it. This directory holds the registered ones.
Do trustees in Liechtenstein need a licence?
Yes. Trustees and trust companies are supervised by the FMA and require its authorisation. The authoritative list is the FMA's own.
Are the beneficiaries of a trust published?
No. Beneficiaries are not entered in the commercial register and do not appear here.
