Procedure and important steps in setting up a foundations & trusts
Setting up a foundations & trusts in Austria is a process that needs to be well planned, especially in the initial phase, where it is important to clearly define the objectives and implement them with legal precision. In several personal meetings, we will work with you to determine whether it makes sense for you to set up a foundation, what purposes your foundation should pursue, how the assets can be contributed and what structuring options Austrian private foundation law offers you. This is not just about the formal requirements - such as drawing up the foundation declaration or registration in the commercial register - but also about the strategic direction: Who should benefit from the foundation in the long term? Which values and guidelines should be permanently anchored? How should the foundation be organized and what control structure should be established?
By providing sound legal advice at this early stage, we ensure that your ideas are set out in a clear, legally compliant form. In this way, a tailor-made concept is created step by step that optimally reflects your objectives and at the same time meets the legal requirements. The establishment of your foundation is therefore not a mere formality, but a carefully monitored process that transforms your ideas into a permanent structure.
