A Foundation — control over your wealth that stays with you.

• Your wealth is held in your own name, and at any event — illness, dispute, a change of country — it is exposed and vulnerable.
• You want to pass capital to your children, but not in one package and not all at once: on the rules you set, not those of a foreign jurisdiction’s law.
• A trust does not suit you: you are not prepared to hand property to a trustee and lose the visibility of control.

What the House does

A Foundation is a legal person without shareholders. The property belongs to the Foundation itself, and who receives what, and under what conditions, is set out in a charter we write together with you. The House carries the structure from charter to an open bank account. The deeds and charters themselves are drafted and executed by licensed counsel the House instructs, on your behalf. Counsel answers for the document; the House answers for the result.

• A bespoke charter and by-laws for your family — the order of succession, rights and conditions, set out word for word.
• A partner of the House on the Foundation’s council in the first year — while the structure settles and takes its first decisions.
• A registered office in the jurisdiction and the upkeep of the registration.
• KYC and fit-and-proper on the founder, the council and the beneficiaries.
• Onboarding with three banks: a prepared pack on the structure and source of funds.

Why this way and not another

• A local agent will register the Foundation off a template — but a template charter does not describe your family and does not hold succession.
• A trust requires handing the property to a trustee; for an owner used to keeping a hand on the wheel, that is unacceptable.
• A will opens after death, passes through a foreign country’s court and does not protect the assets during life.

What worries you — and the House’s answer

• “If I place it in a Foundation, I’ll lose control over my own money.” — The Foundation is designed so that the running of it and the right to decide stay with you, through the council and the charter.
• “A bank won’t open an account for a structure with no history.” — The House prepares the source-of-funds pack in advance and walks you into onboarding with three banks, rather than sending you off at random.
• “A template charter won’t survive a dispute between heirs.” — The charter and by-laws are written for your family; the contested points are closed off in the wording in advance.

Where this leads

The wealth stands in a separate legal entity, shielded from personal risks. The order of succession is fixed in the charter — the heirs have nothing to dispute and nothing to divide blind. Control stays with you during life, and after — passes on the rules you set. A patrimony for the ages, not for a single generation.
