Bare Trust Deed

"I need a Dutch law Bare Trust Deed for holding a commercial property in Amsterdam, with ABC Property Management B.V. as trustee and XYZ Investments B.V. as beneficiary, to be effective from March 1, 2025."

Document background
The Bare Trust Deed is essential for creating simple trust arrangements under Dutch law, particularly useful in situations requiring nominal ownership separation while maintaining beneficial owner control. While trusts are not a native concept in Dutch law, they are recognized through the Netherlands' adoption of the Hague Trust Convention. A Bare Trust Deed is commonly used in property holding, asset protection, and nominee arrangements where the trustee's role is purely administrative. The document explicitly defines the passive nature of the trustee's role, the absolute rights of the beneficiary, and includes all necessary provisions for compliance with Dutch legal requirements and the Hague Trust Convention principles.
Suggested Sections

1. Parties: Identification of the Settlor, Trustee(s), and Beneficiary(ies)

2. Background: Context of the trust creation, including the intention to create a bare trust and brief description of the trust property

3. Definitions and Interpretation: Definitions of key terms used in the deed and rules for interpretation

9. Administrative Provisions: Basic administrative matters including appointment and removal of trustees

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction: Confirmation of Dutch law governance and jurisdiction for disputes

11. Execution: Execution block for formal signing of the deed

Optional Sections

1. Tax Declarations: Include when specific tax treatment needs to be documented or clarified

2. Multiple Trustees Provisions: Include when more than one trustee is appointed, detailing how they must act

3. Trustee Remuneration: Include if trustees are to be compensated for their services

4. Delegation Powers: Include if trustees need power to delegate certain administrative functions

5. Trust Duration: Include if the trust is intended to terminate at a specific time or event

6. Anti-Money Laundering Compliance: Include detailed AML provisions if required by the nature of the trust property or parties involved

Suggested Schedules

2. Schedule 2 - Initial Trust Property Receipt: Formal acknowledgment by trustee of receipt of trust property

3. Schedule 3 - Trustee Administrative Provisions: Standard administrative provisions regarding trustee appointment, removal, and succession
