Did you know?
- In several Spanish-speaking countries, a fideicomiso is frequently used as a tool for government guarantees and public infrastructure projects rather than just private estate planning.
- The concept of a 'trust' was historically foreign to many Latin American legal traditions and was only adopted by adapting the fideicomiso to fit existing civil law codes.
- While fideicomiso is the standard term for a trust, it shares its roots with the English word 'fidelity', as both stem from the Latin 'fides' meaning 'faith'.
