Move assets out of personal ownership into a Panama foundation and set the rules for succession.
Use it when control, succession, and separation from personal ownership matter. Skip it when a will or an operating company already solves the problem.
The foundation holds the assets under private rules. You define who benefits, who makes decisions, and what happens when family circumstances change.
What the foundation holds is generally separate from your personal creditors, with the usual anti-fraud limits.
Who gets what stays in private rules. The family does not have to air it in court.
You can sit on the council and keep a say, but then you are not anonymous. Or use a nominee council so the foundation stays private, and stay on as protector with a veto if needed.
Used correctly, it can bypass rigid heirship so the people you choose actually inherit.
The foundation can hold bank accounts, investments, and company shares in its own name.
Foreign-source income and many transfers are typically outside Panama tax.
We only file if the assets and the family story actually need a foundation.
You define who benefits, who decides, and how the foundation should sit next to any company you own.
Our Panamanian legal team creates the legal vehicle. We coordinate the scope, documents, and delivery.
Many families let the foundation own the operational company. We only do that when it helps.
We prepare you to handle later changes to the foundation bylaws after setup, if needed.
We settle the purpose and rules before anything is filed. You then receive the foundation documents.
We check whether a foundation is the right tool, or if a will or a company is enough.
