Endowment Funds and Trusts, Foreign Trusts

A very popular product within private wealth structures is the foundation fund (more exceptionally the trust fund). Its advantage is the flexible, stable and legally secure provision of permanence, security and structured support for family members (taking into account the needs of talented, promising or needy and dependent family members). The aim also tends to be to eliminate both known and unknown risks that could impact the family business and family wealth, which is achieved particularly by separating physical persons from ownership of family assets.

We provide comprehensive advice on the configuration, establishment and subsequent administration of family foundations and trusts, which are a conservative form of wealth management proven over the years in international jurisdictions.
