Step 01
Consultation
We discuss your objectives, explain the process and fees, and issue a written proposal. No obligations at this stage.
Property Trust
Hold property in Cambodia the right way. Licensed trust structure. Legally registered. No informal nominees.
Introduction
Cambodia's property market attracts both local and international buyers, but ownership can be complicated — especially for foreign nationals, who are generally restricted from holding land directly. Informal nominee arrangements fill the gap for many people. They also carry real legal risk.
A property trust is the proper solution. Under Cambodia's Law on Trust (2019), Lion Trust holds legal title to your property as a licensed trustee. You keep all the beneficial rights — use, rental income, sale proceeds. Everything is documented in a signed, registered Trust Deed.
Services
Ownership Management We hold legal title as licensed trustee and manage all ongoing ownership obligations throughout the life of the trust. | Due Diligence Full legal due diligence on the target property via qualified third-party lawyers — title, zoning, encumbrances. We do not proceed without a clean report. |
Title Transfer We handle the full title transfer: Cadastral registration, stamp duty payment, and written confirmation when complete. | Escrow Management Purchase funds held in a dedicated trust account, released strictly in line with the signed SPA. Full transparency throughout. |
SPA Preparation We prepare or review the Sales and Purchase Agreement — terms, payment schedule, and documentation — to protect your position. | Ongoing Administration Post-registration: regulatory renewal, trustee reporting and compliance monitoring for the life of the trust. |
