Liechtenstein: Trusts

Anyone wishing to preserve wealth across generations requires clear structures that continue to function after death and are not eroded by family conflicts or unforeseen claims. The transfer of assets into a Liechtenstein foundation or a Liechtenstein trust is an internationally established instrument for this purpose. In such planning, forced heirship claims by statutory heirs regularly arise, as well as the question of how these can be addressed and managed.

Anyone establishing foundations, trusts or other wealth structures today does not only address tax and inheritance questions. An equally important issue concerns the protection of sensitive information. The focus lies on legitimate privacy, personal security and protection against misuse, rather than the concealment of unlawful circumstances.

Wer heute Stiftungen, Trusts oder andere Vermögensstrukturen errichtet, stellt nicht nur steuerliche und erbrechtliche Fragen, sondern ebenso die Frage nach dem Schutz sensibler Informationen.
