The
foundation is the most frequently used legal form in
Liechtenstein. Assets donated for a specific purpose
acquire an independent status and, as a foundation, an
independent legal personality. Such assets, as a juridical
person, are no longer part of the private assets of the
founder and then constitute the assets of the foundation.
Foundations are particularly suitable for asset management
and succession arrangement purposes. For business application
the foundation is unsuitable.
The Liechtenstein company Law (PGR) is the legal basis
of the foundation. According to the foundation law, contributions
can be made unconditionally.
The enjoyment of the beneficial interest can be limited
in time and linked to conditions or restrictions.
The foundation may be used as an instrument to preclude
the splitting of a company through succession by including
the companies in a foundation.
The minimum capital required is CHF 30’000.–-.
The assets of the foundation are exclusively liable.
