Services and offer on Trust & Foundation Law and Estate Planning
Legally Compliant Design & Individual Advice
The establishment of a charitable foundation requires precise planning—from a clearly defined charitable purpose to the creation of an appropriate organizational and governance structure. We support founders in the legally compliant drafting of the foundation declaration or deed of establishment and ensure that all requirements for charitable foundations and donations are met. Our close cooperation with tax advisors enables us to make the best possible use of tax advantages and minimize legal risks from the start.
Ongoing Support: Statute Review & Legally Compliant Foundation Administration
To ensure that your foundation remains capable of acting over the long term, we regularly review foundation declarations and deeds of establishment and provide support with any necessary adjustments resulting from changes in the legal or tax framework.
In addition, we advise foundation boards on the legally compliant and efficient performance of their duties—from the preparation, conduct, and documentation of board meetings and resolutions to advice on minimizing liability risks, interpreting provisions of the foundation documents, and representation before authorities and courts.
Our advice ensures clear decision-making processes, reduces liability risks, and creates a stable basis for the successful implementation of charitable goals.
