The Liechtenstein foundation is used for asset protection and estate planning. The Foundation is regulated in art. 522 § 1 – 41 of the Liechtenstein Persons and Companies Act (PGR).
The private law establishment is very popular due to her flexibility. The establishment in Liechtenstein has no counterparts in other legal systems. The establishment may be structured like a foundation or a corporation. The law defines the establishment as a legally autonomous, organized, permanent undertaking dedicated to economic or other objects and entered in the Commercial Register, which has holdings of material and possibly personal resources.
