Twenty questions, answered plainly

It is a trusteeship (in German, a Treuhänderschaft) constituted under the law of the Principality of Liechtenstein and entered on the public register under number FL-0001.082.566-1. Its legal seat is Vaduz and it has been continuously registered since 1982.

A trusteeship is not a company with shareholders and it is not a fund with units. A settlor transfers assets to a trustee, who holds legal title and administers them for beneficiaries on the terms of a trust deed.

No. It does not take deposits, does not issue units or shares to the public, and does not operate a collective investment scheme. It holds and administers assets under individual mandates. Nothing on this website is an offer of banking or investment services.

Do not take this website’s word for it. The entry is public: search the Liechtenstein Öffentlichkeitsregister (oera.li) for register number FL-0001.082.566-1, or view the mirrored record on Moneyhouse linked in the footer of every page.

Verifying the register entry before contacting any trustee is simply good practice.

Because none are public. Liechtenstein does not require a trusteeship of this form to publish accounts, assets under administration, returns or beneficiaries, and Navicella has not published them. Rather than fill the gap with an invented number, the site says plainly that the figure is not disclosed.

For the same reason. The names of the individuals holding office are disclosed to mandate holders, to the custodian, and to the competent authorities — not on a public web page. The page sets out the offices and their duties instead.

It is the elapsed time since the 1982 entry on the public register. It is a measure of continuity of registration, nothing more: it is not a performance record and implies no return.

The Handelsregister records a modification on 15 May 2009 (entry 90515/2009, publication no. 20090275). The substance of that change was not published; only the fact of it is public. We do not speculate about it and neither should any other source.

No. There is no offering, no subscription, no minimum and no instrument to buy. The Trust does not solicit capital from the public and does not accept unsolicited transfers.

If you receive any message inviting you to ‘invest in Navicella’, treat it as fraudulent and verify the register entry independently.

With a conversation about constraints — purpose, beneficiaries, horizon, jurisdiction and the obligations the structure must meet. Only then is a structure discussed. Any relationship is then documented in a deed and preceded by full due diligence.

The identification and verification required by the Liechtenstein Due Diligence Act (Sorgfaltspflichtgesetz): identity of the contracting party, identity of the beneficial owners, the origin of the assets and the purpose of the relationship. See the AML & KYC Policy.

Not as a strategy of buying and holding tokens. Navicella’s digital asset activity is primarily investment into companies building the infrastructure of the blockchain and digital asset economy — custody, tokenisation, financial and compliance technology. See the Digital Assets page.

For authorised clients, Navicella can inspect public blockchain wallets and produce analytical reports — portfolio value, asset composition, activity and a Navicella Wallet Score. It is read-only analysis of public data and requires only a public wallet address. It is not available publicly and is not an AML or compliance rating.

No. Wallet analysis requires only a public wallet address. Navicella will never ask for a private key, recovery phrase, seed phrase, xprv or wallet password, and will never ask you to sign a transaction to analyse a wallet. Any request for such information is fraudulent.

Through the existing Client Access. Access is granted by the Trust to authorised clients; there is no public registration. Clients contact Navicella to obtain credentials.

No. Where the origin of funds cannot be documented to the standard the law requires, the relationship is declined. This is not negotiable and is not a matter of size.

That framing is out of date. Liechtenstein is an EEA member, applies the OECD Common Reporting Standard, maintains a register of beneficial ownership accessible to the authorities, and supervises professional trustees through the FMA.

A structure here is a legal and succession instrument. It is not a means of concealing income from a tax authority, and no trustee acting properly will help you attempt it.

No. Tax treatment depends on your own residence and circumstances and is a matter for your own qualified adviser. Nothing on this site is tax advice.

Liechtenstein law, and specifically the Persons and Companies Act (Personen- und Gesellschaftsrecht, PGR) of 1926, which introduced a statutory trust into a civil-law jurisdiction. The courts of Vaduz have jurisdiction unless the deed provides otherwise.

Minimally. The site sets no analytics or advertising cookies and runs no trackers. The only data we receive is what you choose to send us through the enquiry form, which is used solely to reply to you. Full detail is in the Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy.

Your name, email address, optional organisation, subject and message are transmitted to Navicella and recorded so that the enquiry can be read and answered. We reply to every serious enquiry to the address you provide. You may equally write to the registered office in Vaduz.

No. They are transparent arithmetic models that run entirely in your browser, take no data from you and send nothing anywhere. They illustrate mechanics; they do not model your situation.

That depends on the deed. Many instruments reserve a power of removal to a protector or to a named class. Where such an office exists, the Trust’s own consent is not required to exercise it — which is the point of having one.

A properly drafted trust does not abate on the death of the settlor or of a beneficiary; that continuity is one of the principal reasons for using one. The deed governs what happens next.
