Liechtenstein Foundation

Liechtenstein foundations for wealth, participations and succession.

Liechtenstein foundations can be relevant in international wealth and succession structures. Beneficiaries, control mechanisms, tax transparency and documentation should be reviewed before implementation.

Typical use cases

  • International wealth and participation holding with long-term governance.
  • Succession planning where family rules and asset dedication should be documented clearly.
  • Asset protection as lawful ownership and governance order, not as a shielding promise.
  • Bankable structures where beneficiaries, control and purpose can be explained.
