Questions about the service
Can you review the regulations of an existing foundation?
Yes. We can assess their consistency with the charter, governing powers and current family needs before proposing changes.
Does a foundation replace all tax and succession planning?
No. It is a tool to be assessed within the overall wealth plan. Its suitability and effects depend on the assets, people and jurisdictions involved.
