Guernsey foundations – a new direction

Guernsey Finance

Guernsey December 12 2012

The Guernsey foundation is an incorporated entity with a separate legal personality. Unlike a company, it does not have shareholders to whom the board are accountable. Instead, the foundation holds assets (in its own name) on behalf of beneficiaries, particular purposes, or both, and in accordance with the foundation’s constitution. As such, although it looks similar to a company, its operation is more akin to that of a trust. However, a foundation is neither.

What our clients say

"As a busy in-house practitioner, I rarely have the time to attend formal seminars and conferences. Consequently, I find the news releases put out by the various law firms invaluable in keeping me up to date on developments in the law and recent case law. The service that Lexology provides, through consolidating those various news releases and grouping them under the relevant categories, is a timesaver for me and allows me to do a quick daily scan of recent developments."
