The Nevada Certificate of Business Trust is a legal document which serves as evidence that an individual or entity has established a business trust in the State of Nevada. It is a formal document issued by the Nevada Secretary of State, which includes the name of the trust, the trustees, and any beneficiaries of the trust. The Nevada Certificate of Business Trust outlines the purpose of the trust, its governing documents, and the powers and duties of the trustees. There are two types of Nevada Certificate of Business Trust: the General Certificate of Business Trust and the Limited Certificate of Business Trust. The General Certificate of Business Trust is used when the trust is open-ended and can be used for any purpose. The Limited Certificate of Business Trust is used when the trust is limited to a specific purpose, such as a charitable trust, a revocable trust, or a trust for the benefit of a named beneficiary. Both types of Certificate of Business Trust are issued by the Nevada Secretary of State upon the filing of the trust documents and payment of the filing fee.
