Foundations

Providing solutions for those less familiar with the common law concept of trusteeship

Foundations are used typically by those with a background in civil law in the context of philanthropic activity. A foundation is an incorporated body with separate legal personality with the ability to hold assets and transact.

These flexible structures are used widely and effectively by families across the globe who are looking for an efficient mechanism to transfer wealth from one generation to the next.

Founder created and operated by a trusted council in accordance with the stated objectives, foundations have features in common with both trusts and companies and hold a wide variety of assets directly or indirectly.

Each is tailored to the specific objectives and needs of the client whether that is wealth preservation, philanthropic priorities, asset protection, tax planning or corporate structuring.

These are supported by internationally recognised regulation, stability and are governed by the Foundations (Jersey) Law. Jersey foundations have a legal and regulatory background of checks and balances.
