34. Exclusion of heirship, community of property and other rights arising under foreign laws
An international trust governed by this Act or a disposition of property to be held upon the international trust, shall not be varied, declared void, voidable, liable to be set aside or defective in any manner, and the capacity of any settlor is not to be questioned by reason that—
-
(a) the laws of any foreign jurisdiction prohibit or do not recognise the concept of an international trust either in part or in whole;
-
(b) the international trust or disposition avoids or defeats rights, claims or interests conferred by the law of the foreign jurisdiction upon any person, or contravenes any law, rule, judicial or administrative order or action intended to recognise, protect enforce or give effect to any such rights, claims or interests;
-
(c) the international trust creates rights in property that are contrary to other laws relating to the personal or proprietary effects of marriage or the succession rights testate and intestate, of any person;
-
(d) the law in force in Saint Lucia or the provisions of this Act are inconsistent with a law of a foreign jurisdiction.
