NRS 669A.010
Declaration of legislative intent.
1.
There exists a need to modernize trust company laws in Nevada to make Nevada more competitive in attracting new business, for Nevada to remain competitive with a majority of other states that have modernized their laws and to ensure the safety and soundness of all trust companies licensed pursuant to the provisions of this chapter or chapter 669 of NRS.2.
Unlike the public trust companies required to be licensed pursuant to the provisions of chapter 669 of NRS, family trust companies do not engage or seek to engage in a trust company business with the public but rather serve solely the interests of members and related parties of a single family and the grantors and beneficiaries of trust instruments created for the purposes of estate planning for the family members. Consequently, there is no public interest to be protected or furthered and requiring the licensing of family trust companies will not promote the public advantage and convenience. There are, however, reasons that some family trust companies may wish to obtain state licensing and appropriate supervision under trust company law.3.
It is the purpose of this chapter to:(a)
Define those persons who are engaged in or who desire to provide fiduciary services to a single family and its related interests as a family trust company and who are not doing trust company business with the public or offering services to the general public; and(b)
Bring under public supervision only those family trust companies desiring the benefits of being licensed pursuant to the provisions of this chapter or chapter 669 of NRS.
