Family foundations – time for clear rules of the game

The Family Foundation Act has been in force for three years now – long enough to assess whether the regulations require improvement – ​​say experts from Bank Pekao SA. Therefore, they have prepared a detailed report on this, one of the most important tools for succession and asset protection.

For this publication, they enlisted the help of independent experts, including Agata Dziwisz-Moshe from Kochański & Partners. She carefully examined the most important challenges, including:

  • The boundary between a holding foundation and a structure that is solely a safe-deposit for family wealth
  • The lack of a grace period for asset sales, which negatively impacts the reputation of the entire industry
  • The need to better protect the personal data of beneficiaries
  • Inconsistent standards that financial institutions face
  • The need to create a precise catalogue of permitted activities

Conclusions?

A family foundation can be an effective planning tool, but only if the regulations are stable and their application is predictable.

The biggest problem isn't the legal structure itself, but the gray areas that require effective elimination. This is to ensure a sense of security and predictability for funders and the market, lasting for generations.
