Background
The Trust Regulator’s Trust Registration Department conducted field inspections from 26 to 29 August 2026 to verify property locations linked to real estate trusts. The inspections were carried out with authorization from H.E. SOK Dara and led operationally by Mr. Heng Panha and Mr. Chhay Chanmakara.
Officials visited trust property sites in Takeo, Kampong Cham, Kompot and Sihanoukville to check and verify the identity of trust funds against the physical location of assets. The visits targeted trusts that were applying for establishment and registration at the Trust Regulator and involved companies licensed or authorized by the regulator.
Scope of Application
The verification activity covered real estate trusts that had submitted applications for establishment and registration with the Trust Regulator. The operation applied to trust properties located in the four provinces named during the inspection period and to trust companies holding licences or authorizations from the Trust Regulator.
Key Provisions or Decisions
The Trust Registration Department conducted on-site checks to match submitted trust documentation with physical property evidence and location. Observed verification steps included identity checks of the trust fund, confirmation of the physical address of trust properties, and cross-referencing application records held by the Trust Regulator.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
Entities applying to establish real estate trusts should prepare to support physical verification of declared properties as part of the registration process. Licensed trust companies engaging in trust establishment and registration with the Trust Regulator will have their submitted property claims subject to field verification when locations are selected for inspection.
