Have you been successful in your career and want to give back to society? Do you want to ensure the preservation of family wealth? Perhaps you lack a suitable heir, or you want your name to live on after you?
I offer comprehensive support in your decision to establish a foundation. First, I will assess your foundation’s purpose to determine whether it should be a non-profit foundation or a family foundation.
‘What we have done for ourselves
alone dies with us.
What we have done for others and the world
remains and is immortal.’
Albert Pike
Non-profit foundations serve a socially relevant purpose, driven by the founder’s strong sense of responsibility towards society. Once you decide to transfer your assets to a non-profit foundation, your capital is irrevocably dedicated to fulfilling the foundation’s mission. This is precisely why this type of foundation benefits from tax advantages.
Let’s discuss your needs!
If you wish to avoid the bureaucratic effort associated with a foundation, you have the option of placing part of your assets in a dependent trust foundation.
Family foundations, on the other hand, serve private rather than charitable purposes. They are specifically designed to benefit one or more families.
Since these foundations serve private interests, the state does not offer them tax privileges. Like other corporate entities, family foundations are subject to normal taxation, including corporate tax.
