Family Foundation - A Tool for Asset Protection and Structuring

Looking for a solution? We have it!

I need support

A family foundation is the best way to preserve business integrity and pass it on in line with founder’s intentions.

We advise on how to build a company that will last for generations using Polish family foundations or foreign private foundations. We advise not only how to protect the rights and interests of the founder, but also those of future beneficiaries, and design family governance frameworks embedded in the foundation’s statute.

We also advise on tax-efficient asset contributions and management. We halp you avoid legitime disputes, formal errors, and excessive tax burdens.
With us, you gain peace of mind, control, and certainty that your assets will serve your family for generations.

Most Common Client Challenges
  • Forced heirship claims constitute one of the most serious threats to the stability of assets held within a family foundation.
 The absence of appropriate provisions in the foundation’s statute or the failure to take all entitled persons into account may lead to disputes and undermine the entire structure of the foundation.
 We help anticipate and eliminate such risks by designing family foundations in compliance with applicable regulations and implementing solutions that effectively limit or exclude legitime claims.

  • Imprecise provisions in a will or in the foundation’s statute often result in disputes between beneficiaries and decision-making deadlock within the foundation.
 The lack of clear succession rules may jeopardise the integrity of the assets and damage family relationships.

    At Mariański Group, we help regulate inheritance matters so that the foundation can endure for generations — clearly, predictably, and in line with the founder’s intentions.

    We Will Find the Right Solution for You

    We have already advised many businesses facing similar challenges.

    We will identify a solution tailored specifically to your situation.

  • A family foundation requires continuous legal and tax support to remain compliant and operate smoothly.

    Lack of ongoing supervision often leads to formal errors, difficulties in benefit distributions, or unfavourable tax interpretations.

    We provide comprehensive foundation servicing — from administration and reporting to strategic advisory and representation before authorities.

  • The statute is the foundation’s constitution — its quality determines the security and longevity of family assets.

    Overly general or imprecise provisions may lead to misunderstandings and conflicts among beneficiaries.

    We draft statutes that reflect the founder’s values and vision, creating a solid framework for stability, harmony, and trust within the family.

  • The process of registering a family foundation can be lengthy, complex, and exposed to the risk of formal errors.
    Lack of experience in preparing documentation often results in rejected applications and the loss of valuable time.
    At Mariański Group, we manage the entire process from start to finish — preparing complete documentation, liaising with the court, and supervising each stage to ensure your foundation is established efficiently, securely, and without unnecessary stress.

A family foundation is not just a legal structure — it is a practical tool for managing wealth and family relationships. We design it to function effectively for generations.
