Foundations as a solution for your own succession

How you can place your life work and estate in the right hands

Foundations are one conceivable alternative in securing your permanent succession. A foundation can be set up while you are still alive or laid down in your last will and testament. This will ensure that your life work is preserved and the estate is not subject to inheritance tax.
